Soy de River soy de River yo soy it requires basic strategy of ok its defensively strong to have checkers two in a row whenever possible so you cannot get jumped. Know when to let one of you pieces get jumped to set up a multi jump attack. And know when the opponent wants to do that to you. Chess is still leagues above but it has more strategy then shoots and ladders. It’s the least strategy required in a game to actually be able to say strategy is required.
Well acting against rng,like blocking a path makes you startegize to what path you should go,adding rng adds depth,but yeah they should add new rules for skill not rng
@Heath0494 Sort of. The lever for each set of 2 trapdoors has three positions: left, center, and right. You can move the selector one position per turn. So, going from center to left will open the furthest trapdoor. On the next move, you can only move from left to center which will close that trapdoor. On the next move, you could then open either trapdoor. Basically, once you open a trapdoor, you have to use one turn to close it.

Every damn one of you at Vat19 is amazing. I cannot express this enough properly, and therefore I must simply enjoy the ineffable thought of beginning to comprehend how awesome you all are.
I do like to play checkers. To say its like tic tac toe is crazy. Its only like tic tac toe if you can think 1000's of moves ahead across multiple scenarios. It is true that if both players move perfect then it will end in a draw. But only computers seem to be able to do it consistantly and even some checker programs arent that great. Adding chance with checkers or chess is ridiculous. what if your spin always lands on open or close a trap door? and you never move a peice. sounds like fun. the complexity of checkers is to great for average people. mathematicains can get beat by children. google the greatest checker player ever. Dude beat the machine. Told the computer in a match 100's of moves ahead when it messed up. to be bless with a mind like that...
Product placement agreements are a nebulous aspect of entertainment. There isn't really any set rule to it, but mostly a lot of strange legal agreements that set bizarre precedents.
@MegaTHEDOGLOVER There is a spinner for each player. If it ever lands on black, you move your piece. If it lands on a color, you work with that color of trap door.

(0:07 - 0:14) Checkers has more skill than you think just because quite recently computer engines have "solved it (I don't fully know the exact detail of that term, the game branches so much it seems unlikely every single, *each and every single* possible position has been analysed)" does not mean the vast majority of the human population has solved it. If checkers were so simple Marion Tinsley would have had far more draws and pretty close to zero wins, that is not the case. Many humans are pretty shit at checkers/draughts?! and the same is true with chess, just because Super GM's are almost unbeatable and often draw between each other does not mean some arbitrary pleb can simply expect the same.
No skill or chance? It's all skill. No dice. There is no chance. Learn to play checkers instead of randomly jumping and placing pieces. Oh. And when this game is a figment of memory in old folks who happened to watch this way back... People will still be playing checkers.
Checkers doesnt exactly require much skill though, sure you can put some thought into where you want your pieces to go, but tbh, all your doing is jumping pieces till someone wins... And a lot of movements are chance based at points. True strategy is usually taken by chess
(one year)... Really? If you say checkers need skill you dont know any games that need skill like chess ...checkers are one of the easiest games...like tic tack toe or this game with "x" and "o" puted on the "#" ..

But before that, chess where the pieces are conscious, and try to shout often (but not always) poor advice on what you should next, mostly in an effort of self preservation, until you earn their trust in which case they become less focused on self preservation. In other words, wizard chess.
Actually, checkers does require strategic planning like chess. It just depends on if you want to play strategically or just randomly.
but like 1/19th
Chess is 100 dimensions above chekers
checkers truly requires no skill, or tactics, just some basic strategy as planning
R/facepalm

She's a woman
because her enemy doesn't have skill involved
Because she had even less skill.
@EDERTE GAMING try playing checkers. you'd be surprised
Sure as hell isn't by chance.
I thought of this idea when I was 7, told myself I’d make it when I was bigger...

What that does not make any sense
“There is not much skill or chance involved.”
I guess you never learned how to play checkers in the first place.
But.............................I am really good at checkers...
+Batman are you
Translation: I'm not good at a lot of things
I didn't know Batman was good at Checkers!
+A Piece Of Bread fuck you! I'm good at checkers to!
I'm bad at chess ;-;
Why?
Because In don't use my brain when playing it.
“Not much skill involved” so adding a RNG element to the game does?
Well acting against rng,like blocking a path makes you startegize to what path you should go,adding rng adds depth,but yeah they should add new rules for skill not rng
@@galileacarmona6254 yeah
I
My, that girl is easy to impress.
"I not good at alot of things"
"Oh!" (smiles)
"There's not much skill or chance involved".
Let's add another random element to the gamel!
There’s not much skill or CHANCE involved.

It was as subtle homage to one of our favorite standup comedians. We're still looking for a way to squeeze in an Emo Philips reference.
Nice

Backgammon is a favorite of mine, because not only does it require skill, it requires quick thinking due to the dice rolls.
