RULES:
The object of the game is to get all your marbles to the opposite triangle first. Layout the board and each player picks a color and fills in an outer triangle point of the star shaped board with their 10 colored marbles as follows: In a 2 player game, players are across from each other. For 3 players, use every other triangle. For 4 players, players pick two opposing pairs of triangles. And for 6 players, every triangle is used. You can also play where multiple players control multiple sets of pieces and or teams. Setup those games as shown here.
Pick a player to go first, then play proceeds clockwise. On your turn, move 1 of your marbles to any adjacent empty space or jump an adjacent marble, from any player, to an empty space directly beyond it so long as that jump is in a straight line. You are not allowed to jump more than 1 marble but you are allowed to string together any number of subsequent jumps in a single turn, if you want. You don’t have to jump if you don’t want to, and you can choose to only perform some of the jumps in a series and not all of them. After moving your marble, your turn ends and the next player goes.
Once a marble reaches its opposite triangle, it may not be moved out of that triangle - only within it. You are not allowed to move into an opponent’s triangle that isn’t directly across from you, but you are allowed to jump through an opponent’s triangle, ending your turn elsewhere.
The first player to get all their marbles to their opposite triangle wins. Or, if one or more spaces in that triangle contain opponent pieces, then you win when you occupy every available space.
Chinese checkers is ironically German.
Correct, the original German name is even "Sternhalma" literally Star Halma.
In the 19th and early 20th Century, we Germans named a lot of things that seemed kinda odd or exotic "Chinese", even in cases where we had only just invented them ourselves.
I actually thought it was British :P
It’s also not a variation of Checkers either.
@@tarvoc746 cool story, but isn't the German name for this game Sternhalma?
I finally know how to play this, thanks
I learned to play with a rule that you could jump a piece from one or more empty spaces away so long as you could land the same number of spaces of the other side and there where no other pieces jumped over. It made two-player games more exciting.
Sounds cool! Might implement this!
A commenter on an older video on this game made my Triple S called this the equal-space jump rule, they said it’s common among advanced players
Are the rules the same as regular chess except for these changes?
Apologies for asking late but I just want to clarify.
Does "2024 rules" mean there's an update to the game's rules? Or a note to indicate that game is an old ones?
What happens if we lose our marbles?
That Will ;Be A Baaad Idea
Boo!!!
Is it allowed to jump back to the same space a piece started on?
No
Who establishes the rule updates for chinese checkers?
You can technically also jump on a symmetrical line.
This game still has a 5-player problem ...
I think if playing with 5 players, we could let AI control the sixth side
AGAIN: I PLAYED THIS GAME Yesterday!
