Half of the pieces are designated as Positive, the other half Negative. If you capture all your opponent's Positive pieces, you win. However, if you are forced into capturing all your opponent's Negative pieces, you lose. Other than this, the game follows the rules of Spanish Checkers. This is played very much like Anglo-American Checkers, the main difference is that the Doubleton has a more substantial move along any number of vacant squares, including ones beyond a captured piece. Captures are mandatory. If a player has a choice of captures he must take the greater number of pieces. |
