Checkers
Checkers (known as draughts in the United Kingdom and some other countries), also called American checkers, straight checkers, or simply draught, is a form of draughts board game played on an eight by eight squared board (with sixty-four total squares) with twelve pieces on each side. These pieces may only initially move and capture diagonally forwards. Only when a piece is "crowned" or "kinged" may it move both backwards or forwards.
