About this game
Argo Checkers uses a mouse-driven board with red and black sides. Win by capturing all opposing pieces or leaving the opponent unable to move. Each side starts with twelve pawns on dark squares, and ordinary pawns advance toward the opposite side of the board.
Captures are compulsory. If a jump is available, take it; continue with the same piece when another jump follows. If several capture paths are possible, the help says you do not have to choose the one taking the greatest number of pieces.
Blue outlines identify pieces that can move. Click one to select it. When only one move exists, the game performs it automatically; otherwise the chosen piece becomes yellow and legal destinations appear in green. Click a green square to finish the move. F1 opens the help system, including detailed rules and menu explanations.
