(Int'l) Chinese Checkers App Reviews

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.

Bought this a couple days ago. Good goofy fun with your friends! Would probably work great as an icebreaker at parties.

Hello! I am one of the developers of this game from Play More. First of all, I would like to thank for all your precious support and valuable comments. I would also like to apologize to those players who felt disappointed in this game. In view of the comments, players might be confused of the game rules in the game. We believe that there is no random move in the game as the symmetrical jumping rule is a generally accepted rule in the Chinese society. It means that a hop consists of jumping over a distant marble to a symmetrical position on the opposite side. For example, if there are two empty spaces between the moving marble and the jumped-over marble, the moving marble lands on the opposite side with a gap of two empty spaces. Before passing to the next player, multiple jumps are allowed until no more jump could be made by the moving marble. We are very sorry that we havent considered the various rules of the Chinese Checkers in different countries thoroughly. We would sincerely consider adding an extra version with Western rules and tutorial so as to increase the diversity and variation. Therefore, please do not delete our game from your phone. Updates are coming! See you soon! Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the temporary tutorial of this game. May be useful to someone. 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.  ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

It wont let me play unless I bye the full game

This game really sux when there is a great move the game says its not a choice

If this is the same as the lite version but with mulitple players I WILL LOVE IT.

wont let you play unless you buy the full version.

WTF this app cheats and I know how to play Chinese checkers.

This game does not play by the rules of Chinese checkers at all!! It cheats and then doesnt let me cheat!!! And it really shouldnt cheat at all. You cant jump over empty space!!!!!! Also it is really annoying how the screen moves in and out between turns which wastes time and makes the app look even more awful!!! I DELETED THIS RIGHT AWAY!!

Good and all but EXTREMELY limited unless you buy the full version (.99) the full version I would give 5 stars also game rules are a little different

I am going to give this game four stars, and am also going to buy the full version. If the full version is as nice as the lite version I intend to give it five stars. I was initially quite disappointed the way the computer player appeared to be cheating, and also by the limited game options unless buying the full version. BUT..... I was VERY impressed that the developer responded so humbly and sincerely, and gave what I consider to be a reasonable explanation regarding the "jumping over empty holes" and the various differences in Chinese and other countrys rules. The graphics are beautiful, and we have a variety of ways to play the game, so it is like having 2 or 3 games for a very reasonable price of one. But most of all, I am impressed with the developer for willingness to work with us to make the game be one we are happy with.

Its fun but the computer is tooooo easy... And just turn off the long hop rule if you think comp is cheating thats what I did :)

After reading up on wikipedia about this game cause I just bought a set and havent played in years, I decided I wanted to try capture mode so I got this app. I have to say its very very good. Its easy to use and looks good. I like how you can take back your moves and decide when the other players moves. I quickly learned capture mode but what really intrigued me was the long hop rule. I skimmed over that part in wikipedia and wasnt interested but after trying it out, wow! Theres nothing better than a good strategy game with a fast pace. Sometimes standard western Chinese checkers is annoying cause it takes too long. Thank you guys for adding in this feature. If you dont like it just take off the long hop rule. Pretty straightforward. Im actually going to buy the full version.

I was really disappointed that you cant play with any human players without buying the full version. That was the only reason I downloaded it and it definitely wasnt very clear on that in the instructions. Plz at least let you try it with two human players!

This game is a fake. While you play by the rules, the computer skips as many wholes as it likes at a time. I know its free but whats the point. I wanted to buy the ful version but NO WAY. This is really stupid. Nobody checks the quality of these games, or whether they are even playable before list them out there? I will never buy anything from this company again. Shame!

Paid for my full version weeks ago!!!! Still waiting.... Even reported the problem and have had no response! Super frustrating as I really like the game. Still waiting!!! I was charged and no full version and no response!!!!!! WTH!!!!! It is the principle of the matter now!!!
