How to play Chinese Checkers
Hop your marbles across the star board — first to fill the star point opposite your start wins.
Setting up a long jump chain that skips a marble clear across the board in one move delivers a real payoff after several turns of quiet positioning.
- Tap one of your marbles, then tap an adjacent empty space to slide, or a jump-landing space to hop
- Chain multiple jumps in a row for a single big move
💡 Jump chains cover far more ground than sliding one step at a time — look for chains before you settle for a slide.
💡 Leave a couple of your own marbles spaced out mid-board early on, since they become the stepping stones your later jump chains depend on.
