Checkers — Online Board Game
Draughts & Dama vs AI, Friends
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
New: online multiplayer — Quick Match, Ranked and private invite rooms with server clocks — plus 100 puzzle levels, a daily puzzle and a coach that grades every move.
Checkers — the timeless board game, beautifully rebuilt for iPhone and iPad. Whether you call it checkers, draughts, dama or shashki, this is the cleanest way to play: four world variants, online multiplayer, eight computer opponents, a 100-level puzzle campaign and a coach that explains every move.
PLAY ONLINE
• Quick Match — jump in as a guest, no account needed
• Ranked queue — sign in with Apple and claim your unique username
• Private rooms — share an invite code and play a friend
• Server-side clocks: 3, 5 or 10 minutes, or untimed
• Built for real life: the clock pauses if your opponent disconnects, and your game survives an app relaunch — jump straight back in
FOUR WORLD VARIANTS
• American / English draughts — 8×8, forward captures
• International draughts — 10×10, flying kings, maximum capture
• Russian draughts — 8×8, flying kings, backward captures
• Turkish draughts (dama) — 8×8, orthogonal movement
Every variant has an illustrated "how to play" guide with board diagrams.
SHARPEN YOUR GAME
• 100-level puzzle campaign across all four variants
• A new Daily Puzzle every day
• 10 interactive lessons on a live board — the first three are free
• Hints that show the strongest move and tell you why
• Take-backs to undo a slip and learn from it
YOUR PERSONAL COACH
Turn on the Coach in games against the computer and every move is graded — Best, Good, Inaccuracy, Mistake or Blunder — with the reason: a hung piece, a missed two-for-one, a promotion you walked past. Blundered? The Coach offers a retry so you learn on the spot, and after the game you get a full report. The Checkers Coach subscription (US $4.99/week after a 3-day free trial; auto-renews until cancelled) unlocks all lessons, the in-game coach and unlimited hints & take-backs.
PLAY YOUR WAY
• Eight bots from Novice (800) to Grandmaster (2200) — always a fair fight, always a next rung to climb
• Pass & Play — two players, one device
• Chess-style clock for local games: 3, 5 or 10 minutes
• 5 board styles and 6 piece styles, all free
• Pick your side, with coordinates on the board
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
• Personal rating with win / draw / loss stats and rating history
• Replay any game move by move, with notation
• Full game history on your profile
MADE WITH CARE
• Native SwiftUI — fast, fluid, with a crisp dark theme
• Satisfying sound and haptics
• Solo play, puzzles and lessons work fully offline
• No ads. No analytics. No tracking.
Every game is free to play. Hints and take-backs are optional in-app purchases, and the Coach is an optional subscription. An account is needed only for Ranked — Quick Match and private rooms work as a guest.
