Halma

Features Halma

Chinese chequers is a board game of German origin (named "Sternhalma") which can be played by two, three, four, or six people, playing individually or with partners.
The game is a modern and simplified variation of the US game Halma.
The objective is to be first to race ones pieces across the hexagram-shaped board into "home"—the corner of the star opposite ones starting corner—using single-step moves or moves that jump over other pieces.
The remaining players continue the game to establish second-, third-, fourth-, fifth-, and last-place finishers.
Like other skill-based games, Chinese Checkers involves strategy.
The rules are simple, so even young children can play.
