The game
Chinese checkers (also known as Sternhalma or Chinese chequers) is a popular board game originating from Germany. It is played on a star-shaped board by 2 to 6 players. Each player tries to move all of their pieces from their starting corner to the opposite one.
To learn more about the rules of the game, click “Read rules” on the main screen.
--------
Game modes
The app allows you to play the game both online and offline.
There are two ways of playing online: 1. be matched to a random opponent, 2. create a private game and play with your friends or join such a game by typing in the code.
Offline games offer capabilities to play against the computer, or against another player locally on the same device. You can configure the game to have any number of players (e.g. you against a bot, or you against 5 bots).
--------
Bots
Currently 3 different bots are available: “weak bot”, “medium bot” and “strong bot".
As the name suggests, weak bot simulates a weak player that frequently makes non-optimal moves. Choose this option if you just started learning the game.
Regular bot is much smarter, though experienced players should be able to beat it.
It takes even more effects to beat a strong bot.
