Dama – Turkish Checkers: A Classic Game in Your Pocket

Dama – Turkish Checkers is a free puzzle game developed by OBSS Mobile for Android devices. The game is a variant of draughts and is played on an 8×8 board with 16 men lined up on each side in two rows. The goal is to capture all of your opponent’s pieces or reduce them to a point where they cannot make any more moves.

The game follows the basic rules of Turkish Checkers where a single man captures in any of the same 3 directions. A king captures by jumping to a vacant square beyond an adverse piece, any distance away. A single man or a king must continue jumping as long as possible. With a choice of captures, the player must take the maximum number of adverse pieces. Within a multi-capture, turning 180 degrees between two captures is illegal. Each captured piece is removed from the board before the captor continues jumping, and its removal may open up additional captures previously impossible.
