RULES:
The rules are the same as regular checkers except for these changes. For a refresher of those rules, check out this video. Unpromoted checkers can move still only move forwards, but they are allowed to capture both forwards and backwards. A promoted king checker may travel any number of spaces in a straight diagonal direction to an empty space. A king may pass over 1 enemy checker in its way and capture it, landing on any empty space beyond that piece. A king may not travel over 2 adjacent enemy pieces, there must be at least 1 space in between. After a capture, the king can capture again in the same turn, in the same way, and it can even change directions after each capture. Pieces that are captured in this way remain on the board until the final capture is made for the turn, then they are removed from the board. Kings may not capture a piece already captured in the same turn, thus captured pieces may become obstacles that the king will need to navigate until the end of the turn.
