Checkers is a timeless two-player strategy game that is easy to learn yet difficult to master, making it perfect for players of all ages. Whether played casually at home or competitively in a tournament setting, checkers requires strategic thinking and foresight. Each player has 12 pieces to move diagonally to capture the opponent's pieces. Checkers sets are often portable and come with durable boards and pieces, making them suitable for travel and outdoor play.
