Description

The #1 Draughts app for iOS just got better. Play against your Game Center friends or random opponents using our new turn-based multiplayer feature!

Draughts Free supports both 1 player and 2 player gameplay, so you can play against friends or test your skills against a challenging computer opponent.

Our new turn-based network play feature allows you to play up to 16 simultaneous network games against your Game Center friends or random network opponents over Wi-Fi or 3G.

Draughts Free includes a host of exciting features, including:

* Great graphics and exciting sound effects
* Configurable player names and score tracking
* Outstanding AI engine provided by renowned checkers AI researcher and developer Martin Fierz
* Fully configurable 1 player difficulty level
* Undo function if you accidentally hit the wrong square
* Forced jumps option allows you to choose whether to play with forced captures
* Ability to save your game when you exit the app or receive a phone call

Draughts Free currently plays American Checkers (i.e., no flying kings). In future versions, we will add the ability to use other checkers rule sets.

Draughts Free is supported by unobtrusive banner advertising. Draughts Premium is the same great app without the ads.

Mr G&M ,

The app game play is very good and competitive. But

It would be helpful if you provided basic game play instructions such as how to perform moves like double jumps. I’ve found it’s not all the time the double jump prompt pops up on screen, and because of this available double jumps can’t be performed. At first I thought there was some type of restriction to the type of multiple jumps one can perform in play, but I’ve deliberately played moves to see whether the game (itself) would act on these type multiple jumps which it did. Why can the game perform these but I can only perform straight line multiple jumps? Anyone else aware of this ..

Don’t make buttons appear in the middle of the board

I get why it asks if you want to end in a draw after a certain number of moves and all but don’t make it appear in the Center of the board right as someone’s about to move. I’ve literally lost count of the number of times I’ve accidentally ended a game hitting “yes” by mistake. Move it to the top or something, please.

Basic draughts but some serious problems

The good;
-Let’s you play draughts (if you can sit through the adds…)
And, that’s about it.

The bad;
-The adds! Dear God, the ads… You’re forced to sit through very long previews of other games which take an eternity to finally give you the option to close. Then, closing them is impossible unless you possess the dexterity and accuracy of a surgeon in order to press EXACTLY on that stupid little cross.

-You cannot play as black. Red only for some weird reason.

- When you have the upper hand and are performing a lot of non-taking manoeuvres to finish off your opponent, a pop up appears asking if you’d like to call it a draw. Hell no.

- When you complete a game it loads directly into another. There is no way to go to a hold/load screen so it’s hard to take breaks without killing it altogether

- I find the move sound of the pieces annoying af and play silent but then you lose the little cheer at the end if you win.
