Chinese checkers is a board game that can be played by two, three, four, or six people, playing individually or with partners. The game is a modern and simplified variation of Halma. The objective is to be first to race ones pieces across the hexagram-shaped game board into "home" – the corner of the star opposite ones starting corner – using single-step moves or moves which jump over other pieces. Others keep playing to establish 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and last place finishers. The game involves some strategy but is popular even among young children.
A basic strategy is to find the longest hopping path that leads closest to, or immediately into, "home" – the destination star point at the opposite side of the board. (Multiple-jump moves are obviously faster to relocate pieces than step-by-step moves.) Since either player can make use of any hopping ladder or chain created, more advanced strategy involves hindering an opposing player, in addition to helping oneself find jumps across the board. Of equal importance are the players strategies for emptying and filling their starting and home corners. Games between experts are rarely decided by more than a couple of moves.
Differing numbers of players result in different game layouts. Each layout imposes a different best-game strategy. For example, if a players "home" or destination corner is empty (not an opponents starting corner), the player can freely arrange his/her pieces to serve as a ladder or bridge between the two opposite ends. But if a players opponent occupies the home destination corner, the player might be better advised to play a "waiting game" until all pieces have moved out.
Latest reviews of Chinese Checkers HD app for iPhone and iPad
The "regular price" of this app is listed as $1.99. I mention that because this supposedly paid app has ads. These ads can, at times, be distracting when they change mid-game. The game itself is your basic Chinese Checkers. It has a unique idea in that you can chose your opponents play-style (radical, rational, jumper, dull, master) or you can play against a human pass n play style. Sadly, there are no other settings you can change. Id have liked an orientation switching option and I REALLY would have liked a way to turn off the annoying doorbell sound after each opponent move. As it was, I had to mute the game to play it. Given some tweaks an consideration to the sounds/screen orientation issues, this can be quite a decent game.
whoever made this game...r u sure u know how to play this game???
The computer makes all the moves for me, am I missing something? I dont get to play! Maybe thats why it is free.
You are right. Only the computer plays while you watch. Deleted this right away.
To play you have to select HUMAN as one of the roles in the beginning. But the computers all like to work together to screw you by sitting in your end zone until one of them wins the. They will move. And they really like to screw up your jumps. Deleted really quick
