HOP MODE
Objective:
Chinese Checkers is a classic board game that can be played by 2 to 6 players. Each player has 10 marbles of same color and each set of marbles are put in one point of the star-shaped game board. Your goal is to move all your marbles across the board to the star-point directly opposite to your starting star-point. The faster, the winner!
How To Play:
Having decided who plays first, the players take turns moving a single marble of their own color per turn. There are two ways to make a marble move.
1. A marble can be moved into an adjacent hole;
2. Or a marble can jump over one marble of any color in any direction to a symmetrical position on the opposite side, provided the hole beyond the jumped marble is vacant. Multiple jumps are allowed.
The marbles may be moved in and out of any holes on the board. However, once a marble is moved into its goal area, it may not be moved out although it may be moved within the goal area. Lets see how far u can jump!
***
CAPTURE MODE
Objective:
Your goal is very simple - capture as most marbles as you can!
How To Play:
All sixty marbles are put in the hexagonal field in the center of the game board. The one hole in the center of the board is left unoccupied so that the game board starts out with a symmetrical hexagonal pattern. The players take turns jumping any marbles over other marbles on the board. The jumped over pieces are captured and collected in the players bin. If no jump is left, a marble can be moved into an adjacent hole until capture can be done. The Last marble is belonged to the player who captured the second-last marble.
Latest reviews of (Int'l) Chinese Checkers app for iPhone and iPad
This is a fun game for me, just try this game
It is a fun board game from my childhood! Thx
Paid for full version so I could play against more than just one computer opponent. Got new phone and redownloaded ap and Ive lost my paid version. Even though my iPad still runs full version. So now you expect me to pay twice? No way, deleted this ap for good. You people are dishonest.
I used to play chinese checkers~
This app is a disappointment as the game looked so promising in the screenshots. Ive been waiting FOREVER for a decent Chinese checkers to show up on the app store! I dont know if its a bug or variant of the game I know nothing about, but the opponent makes random moves across the board and you must make the traditional hop over marbles. This alone makes the game unplayable and there is no tutorial or rule explanation in this app. One other problem I noticed is the marbles are rather unresponsive to touch at times. Its really unfortunate because the design of the game looks like it could be enjoyable. The graphics are well done and the zoom works nicely. If an update fixes the problems it may be worth a second look... I would consider the full version and change my review. Until then its just not the Chinese checkers I remember from childhood.
