Checkermates

Checkers for 2 to 4 players. Each player sets up his/her checkers on the side of the board opposite to, and matching the named color, on the board perimeter. The board is big enough to accommodate all 4 players. Movement rules and capturing are identical with checkers and "kinging" is also a part of this game, occuring when a player's piece reaches the opposite side. The goal is to be last man standing. "Kingless" variants are given, with winning conditions depending on various goals for single pieces. —user summary
