About Chinese Checkers Master
Chinese checkers with the emphasis squarely on the opponent, since the publisher's pitch is its AI rather than its presentation. You can seat anywhere from zero to six humans, and zero is a real option: the machine plays itself while you watch, which is a better rules tutorial than most board games bother to ship.
How to play
- Play traditional Chinese checkers on a three-dimensional board, against the computer or against other people.
- Set the table with anywhere from zero to six human players; the remaining seats are filled by AI.
- Choosing zero humans runs a full demonstration game you can sit and watch.
- The publisher points at Wikipedia for the rules rather than teaching them in-game.
Tips
- If you do not know the game, run the zero-player demonstration before your first real match. It is the only teaching on offer.
- Player count is configurable, so treat two-player and six-player as different games rather than the same game with more chairs. Settle on one before you judge the AI.
