About this title
Hopcairn is English draughts (checkers) played with stones on a hillside board. Captures are forced, jumps chain into multi-jumps, and a stone that reaches the far row is crowned and may move both ways. Play against an alpha-beta AI at three strengths (Easy, Medium, Hard) or against a friend on the same screen. Legal stones and landing squares are highlighted, multi-jumps are animated hop by hop, and 40 moves without a capture is a draw. Undo and a hint are one key away. It plays in the browser with a keyboard, mouse or touch.
