## Description

You can play with Computer or up to 6 players

Realistic Chinese Checkers with unbelievable real crystal balls.

There are 2 play modes: Capture and Free.

Capture mode: 
You can play with Computer or up to 6 players. Computer player have very strong AI.

Detail: All sixty game pieces start out in the hexagonal field in the center of the game board. The center position is left unoccupied, so pieces form a symmetric hexagonal pattern. Color is irrelevant in this variant, so players take turns hopping any game piece over any other eligible game piece(s) on the board. The hopped-over pieces are captured (retired from the game, as in American checkers) and collected in the capturing player's bin. 

The game ends when no further jumps are possible. The player with the most captured pieces is the winner.

The board is tightly packed at the start of the game; as more pieces are captured, the board frees up, often allowing multiple captures to take place in a single move.

Free mode: 
Just like a Chinese checkers board. No rule, no AI.
You can play anyway you like.

## Review summary

The app is plagued by ads, instability, and confusing gameplay. Reviewers complain about no in-app tutorials, unclear capture rules, and clunky controls, plus the lack of a computer opponent and tedious per-move authentication. The combination of ads and frequent crashes dominates user dissatisfaction and undermines perceived value.

### Cons

- Intrusive and frequent ads (including after every move) and rotations slowing gameplay; pressure to pay to remove ads.
- Stability issues: crashes on startup or after updates and devices freezing requiring reset.
- Lack of in-app instructions and unclear capture-mode rules; difficult to learn how to move and what the jumps mean.
- Clunky controls: need to tap 'select' before moving; no tap-to-move; poor UX for new players.
- Move validation and fairness concerns: ability to make illegal moves; per-move authentication; worries about cheating in pass-and-play.
