Edition Playtest Rules Of Checkers
Fun and easy to learn. Have you considered making the board 8x8 so it can be played on a normal checkers and chess board? I can see it being sold as part of a normal multi-game checkers/checkers set. Also, towers might be more interesting if they were allowed to move backwards, like the way a checkers that are kinged at the end of the board are able to move backwards. Cool ideas, we need more people like you. I'm going to playtest your suggestion about towers moving backwards.
