Chinese Checkers rules for two players

Two players start with ten marbles each at opposite points of a 121-hole star. Jade starts at the bottom and moves first; Coral starts at the top. The host and the human against the computer play Jade. Race to the triangle opposite your start.

Move one marble to an adjacent empty hole, or jump an adjacent marble into the empty hole immediately beyond it. All six directions are available. Chain several jumps with the same marble, changing direction if you wish, or stop after any jump. Jumps never capture marbles. The four unused points are open to both players. A marble that reaches its target triangle may move inside it but cannot leave, even during a jump chain.

Fill the opposite triangle to win immediately. Our anti-blocking rule counts opponent marbles left in that triangle as filled holes, provided at least one marble there is yours after your move. Repeating a position with the same side to move three times is a draw. There are no long jumps over gaps and no forced captures.

Select a marble, then a glowing endpoint. The game shows all reachable endpoints and plays a legal route to the one you choose. Hover to preview the route. Tab focuses the board; arrows move the cursor; Enter or Space selects; Escape cancels; Home finds the next movable marble. The cards above the board show arrivals out of ten.

Make bridges, then keep the exit open

Bring your rear marbles forward. Leave jumping gaps between your pieces and look for changes of direction across the center. Your friend can use the same bridges, so inspect both sides before moving.

Fill the deep end of your goal before its entrance. Marbles cannot leave their target triangle, but can still move and jump inside it to make room.

Reconnect and agree on another round

The server checks every hop and saves accepted moves before confirming them. Reopen the invitation in the same browser to recover your seat. Both players must be connected before a move is accepted. Clearing site data removes your saved seat credentials.

After the guest joins, both players must agree to New round. The current board stays until the second player accepts; making a move cancels the request. The host can restart alone before the guest joins. Colors stay the same and Jade starts each round.
