Checkers Around the World Invented Checkers Variants
Tri-Checkers Game
(1987)
Tri-Checkers of 1987 had the same game objective
as traditional checkers in that each player’s
goal was to either capture all the opponent’s
checker pieces or trap the remaining checkers
on the board so that the opponent could not
make any future moves. The difference between
this tri-checkers game and the original version
of Checkers was that there were two opponents
rather than just one and the last player standing
won the checkers game.
The game board is adapted from a standard 8
x 8 checkerboard consisting of 64 alternating
light and dark squares. This checker board consisted
of three 24 square grids connected in a Y shape.
The fourth row of each grid was elongated and
stylized to allow the board to connect.
The game included rules of play for both traditional
checkers and Tri-checkers. The addition of
another opponent added a different competitive
level to the game.
