What is 3D Checkers

Step onto a board that pops off the screen and outmaneuver your rival in a classic battle of wits. Every jump counts as you work to clear their pieces from the board.

How to Play

Move your pieces diagonally across the dark squares, and capture enemy pieces by leaping over them into an empty spot. Reach the far side to crown your piece as a king, which can move in any diagonal direction.

Tips for Playing

  • Force your opponent to the edges, where they have fewer escape options.
  • Keep your back row intact for as long as possible to block early attacks.
  • Trade pieces only when you end the exchange with a positional advantage.
  • Use your king to control the center of the board and limit your rival's movement.
  • Count jumps ahead before committing to a capture chain.
