Dive into Checkers Twist, a turn-based strategy game where every match presents an irregular board layout, challenging your tactics in unpredictable ways.
About this game
A variant of the classic game Checkers (also called Draughts), where the grid is irregular.
On a regular grid, each cell has 8 neighbors, but in this case, they can have between 6 and 10. Therefore tiles can have 3 diagonals or 5 diagonals, which offers different moves depending on where a piece is.
This leads to more difficult games, as you can't build the same mental tricks to take over your opponent. This also makes your opponent harder to anticipate.
Grids are procedurally generated on each game, and there are hundreds of them. This makes each game unique.
We've pre-selected some boards that are either similar enough to a regular one, so that can ease into this new variant, or very different, so that you can really enjoy those new strategies.
When you start a new game, you can choose one of the different modes:
- 1 player against a bot
- 2 players on the same device
- 2 players online
To play multiplayer online, you can first see if any room created by other users is available.
If there are no room, you can create yours:
You can decide if your room will be public or private. If you create a public one, any player can join it. If you create a private one, you will see a window with a code you can share (via whatsapp, email, etc) with the person you want to join.

improved bot
I have recently updated the rules, so that when a pawn can capture an opponent, it has to perform that capture. This means that a player can intentionally place a piece to force a capture, which could in turn make the opponent in a more precarious position. Until now, the bot was not taking advantage of this. But it does now, and it makes it even more challenging to beat.Read full article on Community Announcements (gui)Patch NotesOfficial
first update
This version has the following changes - the bot is stronger. - you can change the board's look from wood to also minimalist and muted. - and most importantly, when you can capture an opponent's pawn, you have to capture. This is a rule in checkers that I had overlooked in the first release. It really adds a good strategic layer, as you can force your opponent into bad moves.Read full article on Community Announcements (gui)
