Planned
Chinese Checkers,
one hop at a time.
Race your marbles across the star, hopping over the others, chaining jump after jump after jump. Against thoughtful computer opponents, with two, three, four or six players at the table.
This is our plan for Chinese Checkers, one of six board and puzzle games we've added to the roadmap. We haven't started it yet, and its place in the build order is still being decided.

The star. Clear, and calm.
Bright marbles. A clear board. And every hop shown before you commit.
Illustrations of the planned design. The finished app may look different.
How Chinese Checkers plays
Get every one of your marbles into the point of the star across from where you started.
Step
Move a marble one hole, in any direction.
Hop
Jump any single marble next to you. Then keep hopping, as long as you can.
Win
Be the first to fill the opposite point of the star with your marbles.
Long hops. Good company.
Opponents who play it straight
Computer players see the same board you do. And they never cheat.
Two to six players
Take on one opponent, or fill the whole table. Everyone else is the computer.
Hop paths shown
See every hop in a chain before you commit to it.

Good to know
When will Chinese Checkers be released?
Chinese Checkers is on the roadmap after our card games, and we haven't started it. We don't announce dates we can't keep. The day it's ready, this page will have a download link.
Will it cost anything?
Free to download, and the whole game free to play. Pro will be an optional one-time purchase. Ads and subscriptions? Never.
Can I play with friends?
Yes, with the people you know. Invite friends over FaceTime or Messages with SharePlay, or through Game Center, and fair computer players take any empty seats. It's always free. No accounts, no servers of ours, and no matchmaking with strangers.
Do I need an internet connection or an account?
No. Everything will work offline, with no account and no sign-in. Your games and stats stay on your device.
Will it come to Android?
That's the plan. We want to bring the whole collection to Android after the iPhone and iPad apps.
Data Not Collected
