Russian Checkers

Russian Checkers is a classic logic board game that stands out from other card games with its strict forced capture mechanic. The key feature here is the mandatory jump rule, which changes your entire strategy since you cannot skip a turn if a capture is available. Unlike standard solitaire, you aren't just sorting suits but constantly repositioning pieces on the grid.

The gameplay focuses on moving pieces diagonally across dark squares. You simply click a piece and select a valid square to move into. If an opponent's piece blocks your path with an empty square behind it, you must jump over it to remove that piece from the board. Each turn requires deciding whether to advance a regular piece or maneuver from the back until you reach the edge to become a King.

This title fits fans of slow-paced logic puzzles and those tired of fast card game RNG. There are no random draws or luck elements, just pure calculation based on your moves. Tip: in the first minute, try to control the center of the board because it limits your opponent's options and opens up more chances for multi-jump sequences.
