Checkers for 2 to 4 players. Each player sets up his/her checkers on the side of the board opposite to, and matching the named color, on the board perimeter.

A traditional Hawaiian game. From Katie Harris's review: The gameboard is made up of rows and columns, like a checkerboard. However, you can have as many rows and columns as you would like (and your board accommodates). To set-up the game, fill each square with a playing piece, alternating between black and white pieces. Black moves first, by taking off...

Captures and crowning are 3D analogs to...
