How to Play International Draughts
Play International Draughts online on a 10×10 board: Black moves first on dark squares, each side has twenty men, the longest capture is mandatory, and a man that finishes the turn on the last row becomes a flying king. Start against multiple AI levels on this page with hints, undo, and replay, or switch to same-device play or an online room for a game with a friend.
This Is Not English Draughts
Each side has twenty men and plays only on dark squares. A man steps one square diagonally forward; captures may jump in all four diagonal directions, including backward. If a capture exists you must take it, and you must choose the sequence that captures the most pieces; if two sequences capture equally many, take the one that captures more kings.
A man promotes only if it finishes the turn on the last row. The resulting flying king may travel any empty diagonal, land anywhere beyond a captured piece, and continue jumping. This is 10×10 international draughts, not 8×8 English draughts, and not Chinese checkers on a star.
Only Dark Squares Count
The game is played on the dark squares; tapping a light one does nothing. Tap a man that can move, then a square it can reach. If nothing happens, that man has no legal move, or a capture is waiting elsewhere.
Take the Longest Capture
Men may capture backward, unlike English draughts. While a capture exists, quiet slides disappear; among several captures you must take the longest, then the one that takes more kings. Passing the last row mid-jump does not promote until the turn ends there. When you review a loss, the last missing man is usually too late; look back for the turn that chose a shorter capture.
AI Play
The home page opens in AI mode. You can sit Black or White and switch among multiple strength levels. A hint marks a candidate move; undo returns to the previous position so you can try another landing; the move list and replay show which forced capture was missed. Search runs in the browser.
