Flea Collared is a Checkers-like game played on a 10x8 board with two different types of pieces: dogs and fleas. Each player controls eight dogs and four fleas. Dogs and fleas both move in standard Checkers fashion, moving and jumping forwards. Dogs can be promoted to "top dogs" which can move backwards as well. Jumping is mandatory. The game can be won by capturing all your opponent's dogs, but also by forcing your opponent to capture all your fleas or move one of their fleas to your end of the board.
