The game Chinese Checkers board is in the shape of a 6 pointed star. Each point of the star is a triangle consisting of ten holes. The board has an hexagon with each side five holes long. every triangle is a different color and there are six sets of ten marbles with corresponding colors.
Players take turns to move marbles of their own color. In one turn a marble may either be simply moved into an adjacent hole or it may make one or more hops over other marbles. Where a hopping move is made, each hopmust be over an adjacent marble and into the vacant hole directly beyond it. Each hop may be over any colored marble including theThe aim is to race all pieces into the star corner on the opposite side of the board before opponents do the same. The destination corner is called home. Each player has 10 pieces, except in games between two players when 15 are sometimes used.
A basic strategy is to create or find the longest hopping path that leads closest to home, or immediately into it. (Multiple-jump moves are obviously faster to advance pieces than step-by-step moves.) Since either player can make use of any hopping 'ladder' or 'chain' created, a more advanced strategy involves hindering an opposing player in addition to helping oneself make jumps across the board. Of equal importance are the players' strategies for emptying and filling their starting and home corners. Games between top players are rarely decided by more than a couple of moves.
