Checkers has been around for thousands of years. In some countries, primarily England, checkers is called English Draughts. But whatever its name, there is no denying the staying power of this premier board game.
Checkers is played on a checked board. Each player has twelve pieces at their disposal at the beginning of the game. You win by capturing all of your opponent’s pieces. Checkers is a game of strategy, but it’s also a heck of a lot of fun.
They now make travelling checkerboards. These fancy, yet handy boards are magnetic to ensure that the pieces don’t slide off the board. With a magnetic board, you can travel in boats, cars, airplanes or railcars without having to worry that your game will be ruined by a bump or dip in the road.
If you don’t have a partner to play with on your trip, not to worry; they now make computerized checker boards that allow you to play a computer opponent. These computerized checker boards come in various sizes for your convenience. You won’t have to worry about lugging around a huge checkers board with you. Some are so small that they will fit right in the palm of your hand. It really doesn’t get more convenient than that!
Not only is checkers a wonderful travel game, but it’s great for home life too. It’s a simple enough game that even small kids can learn how to play, making it ideal for spending some family time, whether you’re on the road or sitting in your living room.
Checker boards also come in a variety of different styles; you can purchase glass boards, travel boards, computerized boards, wood boards and even stone boards. They make a great decorative piece for your living room or den. Plus, they’ll always be set up for your next game.
Checkers is a fun, easy, family friendly game that can be enjoyed anywhere. Whether you’re travelling abroad, sitting in your living room enjoying a glass of wine or visiting relatives, checkers can add something to any occasion.
