About Chinese Checkers

Chinese Checkers is the classic race game of stepping and hopping pegs across the board. In this two-player version you play the blue pegs in the bottom-left triangle and the computer plays the red pegs in the top-right; your goal is to be the first to move every one of your pegs into the opposite triangle. On your turn you either slide a peg one square, or jump it over a single adjacent peg into the empty square beyond. The real game lives in the jumps: when a landing square sets up another hop, you can chain several jumps together and fly across the board. Pick a difficulty. No signup, no download.

Frequently asked questions

Each side starts with ten pegs in a corner triangle. On your turn you move one peg, either one step to an adjacent empty square or by jumping over an adjacent peg into the empty square beyond. You play blue and move first; the first player to get all their pegs into the opposite triangle wins.

After a peg jumps over a neighbour and lands, if it can immediately jump again it may keep going, hopping across several pegs in a single turn. Every reachable landing square is highlighted, so you click how far to travel.

Yes. Unlike Checkers, a jump does not capture anything — you can hop over your own pegs or the computer’s, and the peg you jump stays on the board.

No — this is a streamlined two-player version played on a square board with two opposite triangles, which keeps the strategy of stepping and chained hops while loading instantly.

Easy makes random forward moves, Normal greedily picks the move that advances a peg the most, and Hard also pushes its rearmost pegs and rewards landing inside the target.
