About this game

Every player has 10 pieces : the winner is the one that first races his pieces across the board. Up to six players can play.

A piece hops over another piece, no matters the color. You can chain several hops in a single move.
You can choose the rules : standard with short jumps or fast-paced with long hops as illustrated above.

Ratings and reviews

It is possible regular players may find the engine too easy. I downloaded this app to learn Chinese Checkers a few days ago and have easily defeated the 1 v 1 mode. The full against 5 is a bit more difficult. One time, I tested and sabotaged a neighboring triangle by placing a piece on it preventing it from taking first place. As a new player, it makes me wonder if there should be a rule preventing that. Still, I think it is a good app to learn the game.

Good move input, good presentation, sufficiently strong computer players - all in all this is by far the best Chinese Checkers implementation I have found for Android. If I could change one thing it would be to display the number of moves taken to goal at the end of the game for each player. But that's really a detail.

* low size *graphics are nice and simple *seems to be light weighted #if four of the vertices are oriented along the width so that the board may appear bigger on small screened devices. # Many times it's becoming difficult, while playing with AI, what is the move taken by AI. It would be nice if path taken is highlighted till the next move is taken by user. @ review is based on single user play with AI. @ with two players game, the game takes a while to goto home screen after completion of game
