Some of you may have played the old Chinese Checkers board game. Well, here's a computer version of it! The object is to be the last survivor with marbles left. Each player has 10 marbles, to get rid of other players' marbles, jump over them. You can only jump 1 or sometimes 2 spaces at a time.

This has very artistic graphics and a Chinese guy is there to help you out.


Download this if you like old-time board games.

This game is very unique and challenging. This version brings back the old challenging game that we all love and enjoy. I sat in my chair for hours trying to beat it... it's one of those games that never gets boring because you just want to finish it. This is a computer adaptation of a very simple to learn, yet challenging, board game. It is similar to traditional checkers in that pieces can jump one another, but it can have multiple players, each denoted by a different colored marble on a round board. The goal is to get marbles "home" to the space directly across from your starting point and fill the triangular space perfectly first.

This game is probably one of the most simple games on the web, and yet it can be played for hours and hours. Thr graphics make it easy to enjoy and understand. I like how it had easy controls to select a move or to just play the game. It has easy to follow instructions and the game can be learned in under a minute. It birngs back the classic fun that Chinese Checkers always brought to the player. It is exactly what people think.. the impossible, addicting, fun game that has been in our lives forever.

The backgrounds and art brings such a calming and soothing sense to the player. It's nothing intense or distracting, but more adaptable for the player to concentrate more on the game, rather then the background art. That's what makes this game so addicting, the fact that you do not have to worry about being distracted or anything because the game is right in front of you and always ready to be played. It is probably one of the fastest games to get through. It loads no problem and is very fast. Most games takes so long to explain and to load through different levels and what not.

This game is smooth and easy when it comes to time management. You will not be dissatisfied with this game. There is nothing that you can not like about it because it is just simply a perfect game. It's a puzzle/ thinking game. I would say the only downfall is that it is TOO hard to beat.. but that is what gives the game character. I love a game that is too hard to beat because i can look forward to actually coming to a win one day. I try different moves and stuff just to win ONCE. The colours are very beautiful and perfectly set up for the game. All in all you will not be dissapointed when you play this game. And it is totally worth it to try out, considering it as very easy to play, understand and enjoy. Thank you for this wonderful and challenging game.
