About Halma
Halma is the classic corner-to-corner race that inspired Chinese Checkers, played here on a square 8×8 board. You play the green pieces packed into the top-left camp and the computer plays the orange pieces in the bottom-right; the goal is to march every one of your pieces into the opposite camp first. On your turn you either slide a piece one square in any direction, or jump it over a single adjacent piece into the empty square beyond. Jumps are the heart of Halma: chain them together to bound across the whole board in one move. Pick a difficulty. No signup, no download, nothing uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Each side starts with its pieces in a corner camp. On your turn you move one piece, either one square in any direction or by jumping over an adjacent piece into the empty square beyond. You play green and move first; the first player to move all their pieces into the opposite corner camp wins.
After a piece jumps over a neighbour and lands, if it can jump again it may keep hopping, crossing several pieces in one turn. Every reachable landing square is highlighted, so you click exactly how far to travel.
No. In Halma jumps never capture - you hop over your own pieces or the computer’s purely to travel faster, and every piece stays on the board the whole game.
Halma is the original, played on a square board with corner camps, while Chinese Checkers adapted it to a six-pointed star with triangular homes. The moves - single steps and chained jumps - are essentially the same.
Easy makes random forward moves, Normal greedily advances the piece that gains the most ground, and Hard also urges its rearmost pieces forward and rewards entering the target.
