Chinese Checkers is a game in which players race each other to see who can fill their destination triangle with colored pegs first. While the game is neither Chinese nor Checkers, it's a fun tactical game invented in Germany but based on an American game called Halma. We’ll walk you through the original rules along with some gameplay variations, so you can play this classic game however you’d like.
Win Chinese Checkers by getting your 10 pegs into the triangle on the opposite side of the board.
Play the game by moving your pegs into an adjacent spot, or by hopping over nearby pegs.
You can hop over pegs in a straight line, but can’t jump over “blocks” of 2 or more pegs.
Split up the board depending on the number of players.
A Chinese Checkers board resembles a 6-pointed star, with each point of the star featuring 10 “peg” (or marble) holes inside of it. The inner hexagon of the board is also filled with peg holes, and each side of the hexagon has 5 peg holes along it. The way you divide up the board ultimately depends on the number of people playing:
Use 1 pair of opposing triangles.
Use every other triangle on the board.
Use 2 pairs of opposing triangles.
Chinese Checkers typically requires an even number of players, so there isn’t a way to fairly play with 5 players. Three players are only admissible since each player is working toward an empty triangle on the opposite side of the game board.
Rotate gameplay clockwise, starting with the youngest player.
Alternatively, choose any player to go first or use a method like drawing straws or rock-paper-scissors. Just make sure to take turns moving in a clockwise direction.
Take your turn by moving 1 peg to an adjacent space.
In Chinese Checkers, your pegs can move in any direction along the board, as long as you’re going to an adjacent space. Only one peg can be moved per turn.
Hop over a nearby peg if it’s blocking your path.
Feel free to jump over an opponent’s peg (or your own) if it’s in your way. Just make sure that you’re jumping in a straight line (rather than hopping at an angle), and that you’re only jumping over a single peg. Multiple hops are allowed in a single turn, as long as both of these requirements are met.
Not in the mood for a long game? In Super Chinese Checkers, there are no jumping restrictions for your pegs, so your pegs can jump in whatever direction you’d like. You’re also allowed to make “super” jumps—in other words, if there are 2 spaces both in front and behind a neighboring peg, you could jump 6 total spaces over that peg.
With super jumps, the only requirement is that there are the same number of spaces in front and behind a peg.
Want to spice up your 2- or 3-player game? Give each player multiple triangles and sets of pegs to control—just make sure that you’re playing on the opposite side of your opponent. The game continues until a player gets all of their peg sets into their destination triangles on the board.
