2048 checkers

You capture one piece, your checker doubles, and suddenly you're eyeing the next match. That's the loop in 2048 Checkers, and it's very hard to put down after just one more go.

Here's the twist. Every checker on the board carries a number, and it can only capture a piece with the same number. Take one and your checker's number doubles. Simple rule, sneaky strategy, because you'll be planning which pairs to line up before you move.

Every successful move earns you coins, and coins are where it gets fun. Spend them to double a checker's number, remove a piece that's blocking you, or shuffle the whole board when you're stuck. It's a neat rescue plan for those tangled positions.

If you like a number game with a Board games feel, this one fits nicely, and it works well as one of the Touchscreen Games on the site. Your target is the 2048 checker. Reach it and claim victory.

Reach the 2048 checker to win.

Pick a checker and capture another one with the same number. After the capture, your checker's number doubles. Every successful move earns you coins.

Spend those coins to double a checker's number, remove a piece, or shuffle the board. Tip: save your coins for when you're properly stuck, then use a shuffle or a removal to open up a new capture.
