Chess and checkers with your people

Play at your own pace. Take your turn on the bus, at lunch, or three days later. Nobody is waiting on a timer they did not agree to.

Coming to the App Store

In testing now.

How it works

Invite by link or name

Send a friend a link. If they do not have the app yet, it walks them through installing it and drops them straight into your game.

Play when it suits you

Turns arrive as a notification. Answer in a minute or next Tuesday. Set a pace of one, three or seven days per move, or no clock at all.

Or play right here

Pass one device back and forth across the table, or play the computer at three strengths. Both work offline, and neither needs an account.

What it does not do

No adverts. Not between games, not anywhere.
No open chat. A short list of friendly things to say, and nothing else. There is no free-text field to be unkind in.
No strangers. You play people you invited. There is no matchmaking queue.
No ranking ladder. Your record is yours to look at, not a score to defend.

The rules are the real rules

Checkers follows the World Checkers/Draughts Federation rules: forced captures, multi-jumps, kings that move one square. If your family has always played that jumping is optional, there is a setting for that too, agreed before the game starts rather than argued about halfway through.
