Draughts

Draughts (or Checkers) is a war game derived from Alquerque. As such, its history goes back to the 10th century, with Draughts itself coming into being a few centuries later when Alquerque was transferred to a chess board. 

Draughts comes in many, mostly local, versions, which mainly differ in the size of the board (8 x 8, 10 x 10, etc), number of pieces, and rules regarding movement, capturing and promotion. It's not my intention to collect multiple variants, as they all look pretty much the same. So to add Draughts to the 'traditional board games' collection, I simply got myself a set of wooden pieces and placed them on a chess board of the right size.

Here it is!
