Dama Stars

Puzzle & Board2 PlayerWorks on mobile

Dama Stars is Italian checkers with a twist. You jump over your opponent's pieces, promote them to powerful kings and try to dominate the board.

You can play solo against the computer or go head to head with a friend. Against the computer there are three difficulty levels, so players of different strength can find a fit. The description encourages you to choose the best move and try to win. The source does not describe the control scheme beyond that, so the game itself shows how to select and move a piece.

It works for friends who know checkers, and it is easy to learn for those who do not. Look ahead for jumps before you move, and try to get a piece to the far side for a king. For a comparison, try Checkers Legend.
