This family classic was surprisingly not invented in China.
Size: 13cm x 14.5cm x 3cm
Outwit by blocking your opponent or using their pegs to get home first. Chinese Checkers is a timeless favourite the world over.
Invented in 1892 in Germany and given its name in the 1920s in America, it has nothing to do with China. The aim of the game is to be the first to player to move all ten pegs across the board and into the triangle opposite. A toss of a coin decides who starts. Players take turns to move a single peg of their own colour. In one turn a peg may either be simply moved into an adjacent hole OR it may make one or more hops over other pegs. The first player to occupy all 10 destination holes is the winner.
