YoHU Dama
Free · no download · phone, tablet & desktopYoHU Dama is checkers (draughts) in tilted 2.5D on a hand-painted wooden board, with two complete rule sets you pick from the menu. Turkish Draughts (Türk Daması) plays the way it is across Turkey — men move and capture orthogonally, forward and sideways, and kings fly along ranks and files to capture from a distance. International 8×8 checkers is the classic diagonal game, where men step diagonally forward and kings move diagonally. Both enforce mandatory maximum captures and multi-jump chains, with men promoting to crowned kings on the far row. Take on the built-in computer across three difficulty levels (easy, medium and a minimax hard) as White or Black, or share one screen in local two-player. Tap a disc to see its legal moves highlighted, take a move back when the CPU outwits you, and the board saves itself. No download — just open and play.
