Checkers is played on an 8x8 board between two players. Each player starts with 12 pieces placed on dark squares. Pieces move diagonally and capture by jumping over opponents. The goal is to either capture all opponent's pieces or block them from moving. When a piece reaches the far end, it becomes a king and can move backward. The game ends when one player loses all pieces or is blocked. Checkers is a simpler strategy game compared to Chess. It's easy to learn, making it accessible to all ages.
