Chinese Checkers. for iPhone

Chinese Checkers — iPhone release from JingChu Science & Technology Co., Ltd.

A mobile adaptation of the classic board game, designed for iPhone devices by JingChu Science & Technology Co., Ltd. This version preserves the traditional mechanics: each player attempts to move all their marbles/pieces from their starting triangle to the opposing triangle on the star-shaped board.

Game objective

The main goal is to occupy the opposite corner (your "home" triangle) with all of your pieces before any opponent does. If play reaches a stopping point for any other reason, the player who has more pieces in their home triangle is declared the winner.

Starting arrangement

• Players begin the game with their pieces placed in one of the triangular starting zones, typically the top-left or top-right corners of the board depending on the number of players.
• Each participant controls the pieces in a single corner and aims toward the corner directly across the board.

How turns work

• On your turn you may move a single piece.
• A legal move can consist of a step into an adjacent empty space or of one or more jumps over other pieces.
• Jumps may be chained: you can leap over one or several pieces consecutively in a single turn, provided each landing spot is unoccupied.
• You may move a piece into an adjacent corner or progressively into the target (home) corner as moves and jumps permit.
• A jump cannot be performed if the intended landing space is already occupied.

Victory conditions and scoring

• The game ends when a player successfully relocates all of their pieces into the opposing triangle.
• If play is halted for another reason before anyone completes that objective, the player with the greater number of pieces in the home triangle wins.
