Pitfall Checkers

A new twist on international draughts: every captured square becomes a hole. Pawns fall in. Kings fly over. Plan every capture.

Pitfall Checkers is international draughts with a single, game-changing twist: every captured square becomes a hole. Step on a hole as a pawn and you fall in. Kings ignore holes and fly over them. Suddenly every capture is a real choice, not just a free piece.

Features • Full international draughts rules: 10x10 board, mandatory captures, longest-chain rule, kings, draws. • Three AI difficulties for this classic strategy board game: Easy for first-time players, Medium for a challenging game, Hard for serious draughts fans. • 2-player pass-and-play on one device, or solo against the AI. • Puzzle library sorted by difficulty, from one-dot warm-ups to five-dot brain teasers. • Move hints on Easy mode if you want a guide. • Save and resume any game. • Five languages: English, Russian, Dutch, French, German. • No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Fully offline.

Why holes change everything • A four-piece capture chain that opens a hole on your own side can be a trap, not a triumph. • Sacrificing a pawn into your opponent's path turns into a defensive weapon. • Endgames get sharper as the board literally shrinks.

Pitfall Checkers is built by a solo indie. No microtransactions during play. One optional Premium unlock if you enjoy it.
