  1. chinese checkers

    Chinese Checkers is a strategy board game that can be played by two to six people. Originated in Germany, not China as the name suggests, it is a modern and simplified variation of the American game Halma. The game is played on a star-shaped board with 121 holes, and each player has 10 game pieces, usually in the form of pegs or marbles. The objective of the game is to move all of one's pieces from one's own starting corner to the opposite corner before the other players do. Players take turns moving their pieces in any direction, including diagonally, or hopping over other pieces to advance quickly.
