Checkers: Crown Run: Free Checkers Reimagined

Checkers: Crown Run

This is Checkers. Forced captures, multi-jumps, kings, all of it.

Rules

Beta

Every Checkers rule still holds. There is now something on the board worth more than pieces.

The Playr Crown sits at the centre and activates once both players have had two turns.
Land on the Crown square to pick it up. Your piece then moves as normal.
Carry the Crown to your home edge to win outright.
Captures are still forced, and a multi-jump finishes before anything is picked up.
Capture the carrier and the Crown drops where it fell. Either side can take it.
Kings can carry. The carrier is marked at all times.
You can still win the old way: take every piece, or leave the opponent no legal move.

Crown Run keeps its own record. Separate rating, separate placements, separate leaderboard and separate match history. Nothing you earned in Classic carries across, in either direction.
