Frequently Asked Questions
What is the objective of BMW City Checkers?

Regular pieces only move forward diagonally. After reaching the opposite row, they become kings and can move and capture backward.
What happens if I reach the opposite side?
Your piece is crowned as a king, which grants it the ability to move both forward and backward, making it more powerful.
Is there a time limit for each move?
