The game

Chinese checkers (also known as Sternhalma or Chinese chequers) is a popular board game originating from Germany. It is played on a star-shaped board by 2 to 6 players. Each player tries to move all of their pieces from their starting corner to the opposite one.
To learn more about the rules of the game, click “Read rules” on the main screen.

--------
Game modes

The app allows you to play the game both online and offline.
There are two ways of playing online: 1. be matched to a random opponent, 2. create a private game and play with your friends or join such a game by typing in the code.
Offline games offer capabilities to play against the computer, or against another player locally on the same device. You can configure the game to have any number of players (e.g. you against a bot, or you against 5 bots).

--------
Bots

Currently 3 different bots are available: “weak bot”, “medium bot” and “strong bot".
As the name suggests, weak bot simulates a weak player that frequently makes non-optimal moves. Choose this option if you just started learning the game.
Regular bot is much smarter, though experienced players should be able to beat it.
It takes even more effects to beat a strong bot.

--------
Profile

Click on the person icon on the bottom-right corner of the main screen to configure your profile which is displayed to other players during online games. You can type in your name and choose an avatar.

--------
Settings

Click on the gear icon on the main page to open the Settings screen. It allows you to configure the game to match your preferences. In Settings, you can:
- adjust interface sounds volume (button clicks, moves, game end & other sounds);
- adjust background music volume;
- choose background music track;
- choose interface theme and game board theme;
- switch on/off Super Chinese Checkers mode;
- switch on/off “cheating” mode: show all possible destinations;
- and many more.

Review

When you allow time out the whole system stops when playing a friend! Unless you turn iPad vertical the little sign covers bottom marble and you cannot or very difficult to play it, please move sign . Otherwise great! Thanks!

Game ends incorrectly

Whenever a triangle is filled with marbles (except at the beginning when all are in their respective start positions), the game ends. Even when the group of marbles are of different color. For example a triangle that should be filled with red marbles is fully filled but the triangle could contain a majority of marbles in red with 1 or 2 marbles in a different color. It appears that as long as the triangle is filled, the game is over. This is an obvious bug

Very good!

I can’t be speaking from very much experience but this game is amazing. A little personal thought though is that the stronger bot is very very hard to beat, then again I’m not the best Chinese checkers player. Overall, best Chinese checkers app out there!
