WELCOME to ACTION CHECKERS

Thank you for choosing ACTION CHECKERS. Jeffrey LeMonds hopes that you have many hours of enjoyment playing the game

ACTION CHECKERS is similar to the game of checkers, and is played on a board that is similar to a checkers board. However, that's where the similarities end. Think that you can get to the other side of the board? Just wait and see what happens!

The object of the game is to move one of your pieces to the other side of the board. That's right, just one piece! It sounds like an easy thing to do, but the going will be rough. The board is a minefield, and if you move or jump onto a mine, there goes another one of your pieces. Occasionally pieces are arrested and put in jail. When trial occurs, the judge is not usually very lenient. Then, there are the electric fences, which aren't too good for your pieces either. A player can also win when his or her opponent runs out of pieces.

You can play the computer (with an easy or harder level of play), or a human opponent. The board layout and colors, and the various "events" are all easy to customize.

Good luck. You'll need it!
