How to play Chinese checkers: Neither Chinese, nor checkers, Chinese checkers is a fun game to play. You will need 2 to 6 players, a Chinese checker board, and 10 colored pegs per player.

For five and six players, pick any triangle you want. Fill each triangle played with each players' colored pegs. STEP 2: Decide which player will go first. STEP 3: Move one peg starting with the first player. Pegs move one space each turn and must be moved to an empty space. Pegs may move in any direction. The goal is to get the peg to the triangle directly opposite the starting triangle. STEP 4: Jump a peg if the adjacent space is open. A peg can continue jumping as long as there are pegs to jump over. Players may jump any pegs. You can jump a peg all the way across the board. STEP 5: Take turns, with each player moving their pegs.
