Smaller boards with fewer pieces make for quicker games. The most you can make with the Green Box is 12×12, but smaller boards are also possible. The original Halma is played on a board with 16×16 squares. The winner is the first player to arrange all her pieces in the opposite corner from where she started. It is important to exploit opportunities presented to you for jumping across the opponents pieces, as well as trying to block the opponents from using your own. When jumping, you can continue to perform consecutive jumps as long as you have valid options for doing so. A piece can either move one space in any direction, including diagonally, or jump across another piece (owned by you or an opponent) effectively moving two spaces. Taking turns, each player moves one single piece. Select a starting player randomly, or let the youngest player start. This is the starting position, and the object of the game is to move all pieces to the other side of the board and arrange them in a similar formation.
You will be counting each tile as 2×2 spaces, so the board has a total of 10×10 spaces.Įach player arranges their pieces in one of the corners in a triangular formation. It has simple rules but provides plenty of interesting strategy, while including enough unpredictable interaction to make it fun for the whole family. Halma is a classic game invented in the 19th century, and the original game behind the variant Chinese Checkers.
