How to play

  1. Mint starts. Place a disc only where it brackets an unbroken row of opposing discs with another of your discs.
  2. Every bracketed horizontal, vertical and diagonal line flips. If a player has no legal move, the turn passes automatically.
  3. When neither player can move, the side with more discs wins; equal counts draw. The board need not be full.

AI or a friend?

Make your move

  • Touch or mouse: select a space, then press Confirm move. Checkers selects a piece before its destination.
  • Keyboard: arrows move the cursor; Enter/Space previews, then confirms. The on-screen arrows provide the same selection controls.
  • Standard gamepad: D-pad selects, primary button previews/confirms, Start pauses. Physical controllers and Tesla browsers await testing.

A small head start

  • Corners cannot be flipped after capture. Plan access to them.
  • Avoid giving an opponent an easy corner by filling adjacent spaces too soon.
  • Early disc counts can be misleading; consider the moves you leave available.
