Instructions
Step 1
The game "Chinese Checkers" includes 6 sets of game pieces of different colors and a playing field in the form of a six-pointed star. Before starting the game, take each of your chips (6-10 pieces), choosing a certain color, and place them on a separate ray of the star.
Step 2
If you have chosen the brightest colored pieces, start the game: the first move is yours. Give the next player turn clockwise. You can only move one piece at a time. The further the game goes, the more interesting it becomes: there are various options for moves that can lead to different outcomes.
Step 3
Strictly follow the rules of the game of Chinese checkers: during one move, move one piece by moving it in any direction. If there is a free space behind a piece, jump over it. If there is another piece behind this free space that is not located in a straight line relative to the previous jump, then jump over it too this turn.
Step 4
The winner in the game is the one who is the very first to move all his chips to the opposite end of the star. Those who will take the second, third and other places are determined accordingly.
Step 5
Chinese checkers can also develop in a slightly different scenario if two or three participants take part in the game. Then, for the game, select several sets of chips of different colors at once. Deal 6 to 10 playing chips to each player. To make the game more interesting, tighten the rules: for example, a move will involve a mandatory chip jump. If this is not possible, the player must skip a move.
Step 6
Chinese checkers perfectly develop logical thinking, make you think far-sighted, calculate subsequent moves, predict the actions of opponents. This is a great option for spending time in both a large and a small company.
