How do I start a game?
Open the lobby, sign in (or continue as guest), then pick a mode: friend, random opponent, or bot. Press the green action button for that mode.
How do I play with a friend?
Choose “Play a friend”, create an invite, copy the link or code, and send it to your friend. They open the link or enter the code on the lobby.
How does matchmaking work?
Choose “Random opponent” and wait in the queue. When another player is available, you are paired automatically. You can cancel the search anytime.
How do I play against the bot?
Choose “Play bot”, pick Easy / Medium / Hard, then start. You can practise at three difficulty levels. The same movement, capture and promotion rules apply as in online games.
How is the Russian checkers board set up?
The board has 8×8 squares. Each side begins with 12 men on the dark squares of its first three ranks. White moves first.
How do ordinary pieces move and capture?
Men move one square diagonally forward. They can capture in either direction by jumping over an adjacent opposing piece to an empty square. If another capture is available, continue the same turn with that piece.
What happens if a piece becomes a king during a capture?
A man becomes a king as soon as it reaches the last rank. If another capture is available during that turn, it continues the capture as a flying king.
What is a king (flying dame)?
In Russian draughts a man that reaches the last rank becomes a king (дамка). Kings move and capture any distance along a diagonal.
Are captures mandatory?
Yes — if you can capture, you must. You may choose which capture sequence to take; the longest one is not required (unlike international draughts).
How do I change the language?
Use EN / RU / HY in the site header. Registered users also save the choice to their profile so it persists across sessions.
What can guests do?
Guests can play all modes, but game history and win/loss stats are not saved. Create an account to keep your record.
