Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
How fun when you are just bored! Love this game.
Its one of the best checker games to learn on.
Love playing the games using this app. We mainly play the American version and recently have been playing the Turkish version after watching some videos about the game. Both very fun! One repair in Settings is needed: the toggle to Highlight available moves doesnt work because it stays on regardless of how we position the toggle switch. Its great having this feature, because it has helped us improve our game. But, we would like to be able to also play sometimes without this feature to test our skill.
We love this game so much! Its our new favorite game.
We havent played checkers in many years. We really enjoy this game.
We are enjoying this checker is a lot of fun but dont have any problems with it just fine.
We love this game, because its for beginners who has struggle doing this game, so thats why we love this game. We are a struggler, so we love this game. We play it every single day seriously.
We don't have a set of checkers at home so when we play this it makes us filled with joy if we win.
We know how to play the game and its difficult being in challenges, but we won the first round.
Im only 9 years old, so please dont judge us by our vocabulary, but we think this game is awesomely incredible.
We have played this game almost daily for years. The difficulty makes the games competitive. However, we would like to see two tweaks. First, the player should be able to offer a draw. The computer can offer a draw, but the player cannot. Please fix this. Also, the player should have the option to concede. Once the outcome appears certain, the appropriate thing to do is concede rather than have to play it out. The computer can concede, so please give the player that option. Other than these two improvements, this is a great checkers app.
This is a fun checkers game. Not sure that expert mode is really that challenging, but its at least entertaining. We cant vouch for the rules, either, but its how we learned to play. Irritating that it will only suggest a draw when we are two moves from a checkmate. Still a great way to murder time.
- Add ability to Draw. Games will never end due to ties 2. Stop ending games as soon as a win is assumed, instead allow game to be played out 3. Improve AI for Expert mode, as it isnt really challenging enough to be considered expert.
We do not like this game because whenever you have an option to jump your opponent but you dont want to it makes you do that anyway. But other than that its good.
We enjoy the game. We especially enjoy the daily tournament. However, we can only give the game three stars due to its not having a draw option. That is so frustrating. It would seem that the developers would have figured out a way for the players to call for a draw. Without that, the game is not up to its competition. Are you listening developers.
The Dynamic Island in the iPhone is covering the timer.
Great interface but a couple issues – No option to draw matches and the AI will not concede even when there is no chance of winning. -Forces you to capture max pieces when advantageous to the AI but only single pieces when youre winning. -Lack of customization for board and pieces just some generic themes. -Issue with save data, doesnt sync with cloud and asks you to choose between it and local save data.
Its not like the real game. Something missing.
So this game is not that bad but it has some issues like on one hand it always be lagging and be making us lose so thats all we want to say about this game well have a good day.
This game is fun and we love it so much.
The do you want to draw button is right in the middle of the board making you accidentally hit it when you didnt want to. Even tho you have 5 checker pieces and the computer only has two, and we know we would have won the stars.
For those of us using our iPads attached to stand in landscape mode (e.g., with magic keyboard), the portrait only mode is really frustrating.
We didnt like that we had to take Pieces when we could.
Why do you have to move the chips they way they tell you too.
The reason we did this is because you cant pick where you go if you have a jump.
Love this game its so intertaning.
This is awesome. We played it for months now every day game this should be the best game we ever played. It gives you difficulties anything you want in checkers us and our friend love playing this game all the time. If youre reading the script, you should get this game immediately.
Whenever we are bored it is always fun to see you win.
Playing with friendly remotely is very needed.
In Beginner Mode, there are so many hints, they dont experience the game for themselves. For example, you cant move any piece except the designated one when is a mandatory jump.
It can be boring to play with computer or local only. Pls support playing with friends through Game Center.
Why does this game ask if you want a draw when you have eight pieces to one but will not if you are one to one? It sounds stupid. We have been in the middle of a move, and it pops up asking if you want a draw, and we inadvertently hit yes even though there was no way we could lose.
We have played this game for 15 minutes and it just doesnt let us do something we want to do like if we want to the other piece so we dont lose men it FORCES us to lose our men like bro stop helping us we can do it on our own.
Truly great game!!!!! Every person ought to buy the game great for mental focus.
Its easy and fun and helps us understand how to play! Thank you so much who made it.
If you dont want to go out and buy one this is awsome you can choose different size boards and stuff like that if its your first time trying this is a good game to practice your skills good luck.
We give this game 5 stars it is a good idea that APPLE MADE A game called checkers royal+.
We really like this game because you get to choose between difficulty and unlock new boards so awesome game.
This game is actually 100 great! But chess is baddddddxd.
We really love checkers and its so hard getting anyone to play with us so we can play this one. Love it.
We are TRASH at checkers but playing this game made us a little better and slowly going up difficultys helps you better understand checkers 10/10 simple but fun.
We love this game and all Apple Arcade thank you apple.
This game is so fun and we really love playing it. It truly deserves a 5 star review. One thing that we like about it is that it has no adds so you can play it with no distractions.
This is the best app in world history. If you get this game it starts off easy then it gets a little harder. You do not have to buy anything. There are different checker colors. After you win a game you get a star. When you have enough stars you can get more colors.
Game is fun to play if youre bored.
Not sure if it's a recent update but if you click on the icon to left of question mark you can stop Mandatory Capture.
Amazing we play it all the time.
Es el mejor que e jugado us encant.
