About Crown Draughts

Capture the opposing pieces or leave the opponent without a legal move on an 8×8 board. Regular pieces move diagonally forward; reaching the far edge crowns a piece so it can move in both directions.

A diagonal jump over an adjacent opponent into an empty square captures that piece, with captures prioritized by the runtime. The runtime is designed around short sessions with an immediate restart path.

1Start a new Crown Draughts run and read the on-screen objective.

2Use mouse / touch controls to make each move.

3Keep applying the core rule until the board is cleared, the target is reached, or the run ends.
