Chinese Checkers is the classic hop-and-chain race played on a six-pointed star board. The goal: move all of your marbles out of your home triangle, across the board, and into the empty triangle directly opposite — before your opponents fill theirs. This free browser version plays against the computer with 2, 3, or 6 players and three difficulty levels. No downloads, no signup.

Pick your table from the Players menu. Two players is a direct race straight across the star. Three players uses the classic every-other-point layout. Six players fills all six points for a crowded, chaotic board where the center is fiercely contested — you against five computer opponents. Chinese Checkers is also known as Sternhalma, the star-board descendant of the older square-board game Halma.
How do I play Chinese Checkers? Move your marbles across the star board to fill the opposite triangle. Each turn, step a marble to an adjacent hole or hop it over a neighbor — and keep hopping to chain jumps. First to fill the far triangle wins.
