2 1.) Checkers Players: 2 Equipment: Checker board, 24 Checker pieces of 2 different colors Object: To capture all or most of your opponent s pieces. Getting Started: Each player chooses a color and lines up their pieces on the 12 dark squares closest to them. Gameplay: Players take turns moving their game pieces diagonally from one square to another. The dark game pieces move first, and moves are made one square at a time. If an opponent s game piece stands in the way and there is an empty square beyond that piece, the opponent s piece can be captured by jumping over it and landing on the empty square. Only one piece can be captured on a single jump; however, multiple jumps can be performed on a single turn if the player is jumping forward. After a player jumps over their opponent s piece, it is then removed from the board. If a player is able to make a capture, then the jump must be made. If more than one capture is available, then the player is free to choose which capture they pursue. When a piece reaches the furthest row from its own side, it becomes a King and is crowned by placing a captured piece of its own color on top of it. Kings can only move one square diagonally at a time, but may move both forward and backward. Kings may also combine forward and backward jumps on the same turn. Winning: The first player to lose all of their pieces or wind up in a position where they cannot make a move loses the game. If both players have the same amount of pieces, the player with the most Kings wins. If both players have the same amount of pieces and the same amount of Kings then the game is a draw. 2.) Chess Players: 2 Equipment: Chess board, 32 Chess pieces in 2 different colors Object: To force the opponent into checkmate by cornering their King into a position where it is in check and cannot make any further moves. Getting Started: Align the pieces on the board as follows with each color on its respective side. First row: Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook. Second row: 8 Pawns. Movement: Vertical lines are files; horizontal lines are ranks; lines at 45 degrees are diagonals. Each piece has a unique way of moving around the board. KING: Moves one square in any direction. The King may not move to a space where it is threatened by capture from an opposing piece. QUEEN: Moves any distance in any direction on the ranks, files and diagonals. ROOKS: Moves any distance on the ranks or files. BISHOPS: Moves any distance diagonally on the board. KNIGHTS: Moves in an L shape. Each move must be either two squares along a rank and one square along a file, or two squares along a file and one square along a rank. It is the only piece that can jump over other pieces on its move. PAWNS: Can only move one space up the board, except for on its first move, when it can move either one or two spaces up the board. Unlike other pieces, the pawn captures an opposing piece by moving one space diagonally. Capturing: Most pieces capture as they move. If a piece lands on an opponent s piece, then the opposing piece is taken off the board. There are three special cases: 1. The King cannot be taken (see check and checkmate below). 2. No piece can be taken by castling (see Special Moves below). 3. Pawns capture pieces one square diagonally. Check and Checkmate: When a move is made that threatens the opposing King, the opposing King is considered to be in check. The opposing player then must make a move that neutralizes this position by either capturing the threatening piece, moving the King to a safe space, or moving another piece in between the threatening piece and the King. If the opposing King cannot move without being captured, then the opposing player is in checkmate and loses the game

3 Special Moves: CASTLING: Once in every game, each King can make a move known as castling. When the King castles, it moves two squares to the left or right, and the corresponding rook is moved to stand on the opposite side of the King. This is only allowed when the following conditions are met: Neither piece involved in the castling has been moved during the game. There are no pieces between the King and the corresponding rook. The King is not in check, and the move does not put the King in check. EN PASSANT: This move is only available when a pawn moves forward two squares past an opposing pawn on an adjacent file. The opposing pawn must also be on the fifth rank from its own side. Then the opponent s pawn can capture the double-mover as if it had only moved one square forward. This option is open only on the next turn. Promotion: When a pawn moves to its eighth rank, it must be replaced with a Queen, rook, knight or bishop of the same color. Winning: CHECKMATE: When a King is in check and cannot get out of it. RESIGNATION: A player may resign at any time by placing their King on its side on the chessboard. Draws: DEAD POSITION: A position where no series of legal moves could lead to a checkmate. STALEMATE: When a player cannot make a move and their King is not in check. 50-MOVE RULE: When 50 moves have passed without a piece being taken or without the movement of a pawn. THREEFOLD REPITITION: If the same player repeats the same position three times during a game, then the other player may claim a draw on their next turn. 3.) Backgammon Players: 2 Equipment: Backgammon board, 30 Checker pieces of 2 different colors, 2 dice Object: To be the first player to remove all of their pieces from the game board. OUTER TABLE BLACK INNER TABLE The game board is made up of 24 triangles called points. Each player takes 15 game pieces of the same color and places them on the board as shown. Gameplay: Each player rolls one die and the highest number goes first. The first player moves their pieces according to the initial die roll. Play continues with each player alternating turns, rolling both dice on each turn. Game pieces always move forward toward the outer board and they may only land on an open point, which is a point not occupied by two or more of their opponent s pieces. Players can move one game piece the count of one die and another piece the count of the other die or they can move the same piece twice. Any number of matching-colored game pieces can occupy the same point. The player must move the full count of the dice whenever possible. If the piece(s) can move by either but not both of the dice, then the player must move a piece by the larger count. If they cannot move at all, they lose their turn. Doubles: If a player rolls doubles, they must move twice the number on the dice: for example, if two 4 s are rolled, the player WHITE 3

4 moves a total of four 4 s using any combination of pieces. Hitting an Opponent s Piece: If a game piece lands on a point occupied by a single opponent s piece, the opponent s piece is put on the bar. That player must now re-enter that piece as soon as possible onto the first open point of the opposing home board. One or more playing pieces can be hit on a turn, either on the home board or the outer board. Bearing Off: Once all 15 of a player s game pieces are in their home board, they can begin bearing them off by moving them off of the board. To do this, the player must roll a number that matches the number of points that the piece is away from the edge of the board. For example, if the player s game piece is five points from the edge, the player must roll a 5 in order to bear it off. Winning: The first player to bear of all 15 of their game pieces wins. 4.) Chinese Checkers Players: 2-6 Equipment: Checker Board, 60 pawns of 6 different colors Object: To be the first player to move all of your game pieces from your triangle into the opposite triangle. Getting Started: 6 Players All pegs and triangles are used. 4 Players Players start in 2 pairs of opposing triangles. 3 Players Players start in every other triangle. 2 Players Players start from any opposing triangles. Players select their starting zones and fill them with 10 pieces of the corresponding color. Gameplay: Players select who goes first using any agreed-upon method. Each player moves one piece per turn. There are two ways to move pieces: A piece can move into any adjacent space, or it can jump over an adjacent piece into an empty space. A player may not combine jumping with a single-step move a move consists of one or the other. There is no capturing in Chinese Checkers, so pieces that are jumped remain in play. The player can move in any direction and jump over pieces of any color. The jumping piece can continue jumping as many times as possible so long as there are empty adjacent spaces. Once the player finishes their move, play continues to the left. Blocked Holes: It is fair to block a player from winning by occupying one of the holes in their destination triangle, thereby preventing them from filling the triangle first. Therefore, you can implement a rule that allows the blocked player to swap the piece with the one blocking it. Or, if one or more filled holes in an occupied triangle are filled with other players game pieces, these pieces can count towards the blocked player s victory. Make sure to select one of these rules before starting the game. Winning: The first player to move all ten of their pieces into the opposite triangle wins the game. 5.) Snakes & Ladders Players: 2-4 Equipment: Snakes & Ladders board, 4 pawns of 4 different colors, 2 dice Object: Be the first player to reach the last space. Gameplay: Players take turns rolling the dice and moving up the board in a linear fashion. If a player lands at the bottom of the ladder, they immediately ascend the ladder to the connecting space. If they land at the top of a snake, then they slide their pawn down to its connecting space. A player must have an exact dice roll in order to land on the final space and win the game. 6.) Tic-Tac-Toe Players: 2 Equipment: Tic Tac Toe board, 10 Checker pieces of 2 different colors Object: Be the first player to align three pieces in a row. Gameplay: Players begin the game by selecting the color they will use, and take turns placing their checker pieces on the board. The first player to align three of their pieces horizontally, diagonally or vertically wins the game. 7.)

5 99.) Seperate an Arrow into ) 1 Big to 4 Small Move 4 matchsticks to create 2 tops. Move 5 matchsticks to create 4 same size triangles. Matchstick Games (ANSWERS) Gameplay: The first player places a piece outside the board, and holding the shooter between their thumb and forefinger, launches the piece into the air by pressing the edge of the playing piece. If the player s piece lands in the center circle on the first try, they are awarded 100 points. A player may also be awarded either 5, 10, or 25 points if it lands elsewhere on the board. If the piece falls off of the board, then no points are awarded. Players alternate turns and whoever has the most points at the end wins the game. 8.) Solitaire Players: 1 Equipment: Solitaire board, 32 Checker pieces of 2 different colors Object: To remove all of the playing pieces from the board except for the one in the center. Gameplay: Place all of the playing pieces on the game board, leaving the center piece vacant. Playing pieces are moved by jumping over an adjoining piece and landing in a vacant space. The jumped playing piece is subsequently removed from the board. The playing pieces can only be moved horizontally and vertically, not diagonally. 9.) Pacheesi Players: 2-4 Equipment: Pacheesi board, 16 pawns of 4 different colors, 2 dice Object: Be the first player to move all four of your pieces into the Home section. Gameplay: Each player selects a color and moves their four corresponding pieces into the starting area. The players then take turns rolling the dice, with the highest roller going first and play continuing to their left. To move a piece from the starting area to the board, the player must roll either a total of 5 or roll a 5 on one of the dice. Once a playing piece has entered the game, it moves the number of spaces that corresponds to the dice roll. If a player rolls a 5 with one die, they may use that roll to enter the game, and then use the roll of the other die to advance their piece. During the game, the player may not have more than 2 pieces occupying the same space. Doubles: If all four pieces are in play, the player may move any combination of their pieces to match the corresponding roll of the dice. Rolling doubles also allows the player to perform an extra turn before play continues. Capturing: If a player s piece lands on a space occupied by an opponent s piece, then that piece becomes captured and is returned to its starting area. It must re-enter the game using the same rules that are required for entrance. The player who makes the capture may then either roll again, or advance their playing pieces a total of 10 spaces. A playing piece on its home path can never be captured, as no player can enter an opponent s home path. If two pieces of the same color are occupying a space, then neither one can be captured or passed. The player who owns those pieces may keep them there as long as they are able to move their other pieces. If a block occupies an entrance space, then no piece can enter the game until one of those pieces have been moved. Going Home: The home space may be entered only by an exact roll of the dice. Each time a piece returns home, that player is rewarded with 10 extra spaces which can only be used by 1 piece. If the 10 cannot be used then it is forfeited. The first player to get all of their pieces home wins the game. 10.) Acey-Deucy Players: 2 Equipment: Backgammon board, 30 Backgammon pieces of 2 different colors, 2 dice per each player Gamplay: In this variation of Backgammon, all of the pieces enter from the bar in the same manner that they would re-enter the game. All 15 pieces must enter the opponent s inner table before any man may move around the board. If a player rolls a 1 and a 2 (Acey-Deucy), they may move their piece in the usual manner. The player may then select any double they desire and complete the move 4 times. All other Backgammon rules apply and the first player to bear off all of their pieces wins. 11.) Giveaway Checkers Players: 2 Equipment: Checker board, 25 Checker pieces of 2 different colors Object: The reverse of ordinary checkers. Be the first player to have all of their checker pieces blocked or captured. Gameplay: The game is carried out like regular checkers, but players instead strategically plan to have their pieces captured.
