Long-term, you must protect your territory and king your pieces by reaching the opponent's back row, which grants them powerful backwards movement. Victory goes to the most cunning strategist.

💡 Pro Tips

Master War Checkers with these expert strategies to dominate the board.
• 🎪 Prioritize setting up multi-captures, as one strong turn can swiftly shift the entire game in your favor. Plan several moves ahead to force your opponent into vulnerable positions.
• ⚡ Control the center of the board. This gives your pieces greater mobility and more options for both attack and defense compared to being stuck on the sides.
• 💰 Don’t rush your advances. Practice tactical patience; sometimes a strong defensive formation is better than an poorly executed attack that leaves your pieces exposed.
• 🏆 Always protect your back row to prevent your opponent from creating a king. A king is a powerful asset, so focus on getting your own pieces to the far side while stopping theirs.
