House rules apply but Masters Games suggests the following: A peg can be hopped through such a triangle but is not allowed to come to rest in that triangle.īlocking: If a player is prevented from winning because an opposing player's peg occupies one of the holes in the end zone triangle this is not actually illegal however new rules have some times arisen to prevent this.Īnti-blocking rules include agreeing that the game is won when all the 'available' points within the opponents triangle are occupied.Īlternatively there is a rule which is sometimes played where when prevented from moving a peg into a hole in the end zone triangle the player may swap the two pegs over. The question soon arises as to whether it is possible to move a peg into a triangle that is the starting or target triangle for another player. However, once a peg has reached the opposite triangle, it may not be moved out of the triangle - only within the triangle.

Occasionally, a player will be able to move a peg all the way from the starting triangle across the board and into the opposite triangle in one turn! After each hop, the player may either finish or, if possible and desired, continue by hopping over another peg. Each hop may be over any coloured peg including the player's own and can proceed in any one of the six directions. Where a hopping move is made, each hop must be over an adjacent peg and into a the vacant hole directly beyond it. In one turn a peg may either be simply moved into an adjacent hole OR it may make one or more hops over other pegs. Players take turns to move a single peg of their own colour.

Play: A toss of a coin decides who starts. Try both ways!Īim: The aim of the game is to be the first to player to move all your pegs into the triangle opposite.

You may decide to start with the spare triangles filled or not (so that the spaces may or may not be used during the game.) The game is a bit more interesting if unused triangles are left empty so that pegs can hop through or come to rest in them. In a three player game the pegs will start in three triangles equidistant from each other. If there are four players, play starts in two pairs of opposing triangles and a two player game should also be played from opposing triangles. Obviously, for the six player game, all pegs and triangles are used. Instructions: Chinese Checkers can be played by two, three, four or six players. The best bit? The board folds up neatly for easy storage or travel. The game is based on Halma, an earlier Victorian game which was traditionally played on a 16 x 16 chequer board - a Square! Now the game is played in the shape of a six pointed star. In fact it isn't actually come from China. Origin of Chinese Checkers (or Chinese Chequers)
