Chinese Checkers (Asia) (Ja) (NTSC) (Unl)

**Chinese Checkers** on the NES offers a classic board game experience with simple yet challenging strategic gameplay. The main objective of the game is to move all your marbles from your starting point to the opposite area, which is your "home" base. The first player to successfully move all their marbles to their destination wins the game.

The game board is shaped like a six-pointed star, with holes used to place the marbles. Each player has a set of marbles of a single color, typically 10, and starts from one of the star's points. The gameplay of **Chinese Checkers** is very intuitive: on each turn, you can move a single marble.

There are two primary ways to move:

• Single Step Move: You can move a marble to any adjacent empty hole.
• Jumping Over Marbles: You can jump over an adjacent marble (either your own or an opponent's) to an empty hole directly behind it in a straight line. What makes this special is that you can perform multiple consecutive jumps in a single turn if there are empty holes and marbles to jump over, creating a long chain of movement.

There is no capturing of opponent's marbles in **Chinese Checkers**. The main strategy revolves around creating long jump chains for rapid movement, as well as blocking opponents' paths or creating advantageous routes for yourself. The NES version of **Chinese Checkers** typically allows players to compete against the computer or another human player, featuring a simple interface and easy controls using the NES controller, focusing on the turn-based strategic experience of the original game.
