Checkers Around the World Invented Checkers Variants
Battle Checkers Game 1942

Battle Checkers game and game board.
Battle checker game presented a whole new game world based on
military maneuvers of attack and defence. Battle game
was considered as easy to play as ordinary
checkers, but with an exciting and absorbing
twist to the game play. The manufacturer stated
that this was a game for ‘wide-awake
Americans’ of every age.
Battle checkers players didn't have to be brilliant checker
or chess experts or military strategists in
order to win. Battle Checkers game was purely a
game of skill, not chance. What was more important
in this game was to demonstrate alertness,
good judgment, an ability to apply tactics
and strategy and then outplay the opponent
on the various battlegrounds of World War II.
The Battle Checker war theme gave this checkers game a completely new
dimension and of course, was published at a
time when the world was indeed at war.
