In the 19th and early 20th Century, we Germans named a lot of things that seemed kinda odd or exotic "Chinese", even in cases where we had only just invented them ourselves.
I learned to play with a rule that you could jump a piece from one or more empty spaces away so long as you could land the same number of spaces of the other side and there where no other pieces jumped over. It made two-player games more exciting.
just got the game with my kids, just one problem. my kids jump zig zag alongside the other marbles.. because technically they can when they dont occupie same space twice, and only jump one marble at a time. any answer for this would be appreciated
Apologies for asking late but I just want to clarify. Does "2024 rules" mean there's an update to the game's rules? Or a note to indicate that game is an old ones?
Chinese checkers is ironically German.
Correct, the original German name is even "Sternhalma" literally Star Halma.

I actually thought it was British :P
It’s also not a variation of Checkers either.
@@tarvoc746 cool story, but isn't the German name for this game Sternhalma?

Sounds cool! Might implement this!
A commenter on an older video on this game made my Triple S called this the equal-space jump rule, they said it’s common among advanced players
I finally know how to play this, thanks
Are the rules the same as regular chess except for these changes?
What about 5 players
Is it allowed to jump back to the same space a piece started on?
No
Thanks!
Who establishes the rule updates for chinese checkers?

It means it's a remake of an older video
What happens if we lose our marbles?
That Will ;Be A Baaad Idea
Boo!!!
Walmart has a bag of 50 marbles in the toy section for about $3.00.
You can technically also jump on a symmetrical line.
AGAIN: I PLAYED THIS GAME Yesterday!
So uhh… hexagonal chess + checkers.
What? I send a request: how to play original checkers 2024 rules edition
only if i didnt leave my chinese checkers in a box that i cant find
Nuce
This game still has a 5-player problem ...
I think if playing with 5 players, we could let AI control the sixth side
the original battle royale

Chinese checkers game
I watched all of you chess uploads but noticed you have yet to do one on the the DND Dragonchess.
What about five players
