Checkers Fog

Play full draughts with the lights low, seeing only what your own pieces can reach and guessing the rest.

How to play

Standard draughts rules apply: move diagonally, capture by jumping, and chain multi-jumps in one turn. The catch is the fog. You see only the squares your pieces threaten, so enemy pieces lurk in the dark and a jump may reveal a hidden chain or come up empty.

• Move pieces diagonally forward; kings move both ways
• Captures are mandatory and multi-jumps resolve in one move
• Enemy pieces are hidden outside your pieces' reach
• Clear the opponent or leave them with no legal move to win

Controls

• Desktop: click a piece to select, then click its destination
• Phone & tablet: tap a piece and tap the target square

Game modes

• Versus CPU on Easy, Medium or Hard
• Two-player hotseat with a pass-device curtain
• Online play

Tips & strategy

• Advance pieces so their threat range scouts the most squares each turn
• Treat a jump into the fog as a probe; even a miss reveals what isn't there
• Protect your back rank, since a hidden piece could be one square from crowning
