How Do the Pieces Move in Chinese Checkers

Video Transcript

"Hi! My name is Carlos Ramos Jr. and I'm coming to you on behalf Expert Village and today we're talking about the game of Chinese checkers. So we got the board all setup and we're ready to start playing. Now a toss of a coin can decide who starts, after that the players take turns by moving a single peg of their own across the board. So in a one turn a peg can either simply be moved to a adjacent hole or it can hop over one or more pegs, we'll go over hopping and jumping a little bit later but just know that a single move during your turn is from one hole to next, then that person needs to move. It's your turn again, one hole to the next, one hole at a time slowly creeping to the other persons triangle and trying to fill that area with all 10 of your men. You can't go 2 holes, 3 holes, at a time, it has to be one hole at a time, you can go any of the 6 directions setup here, you don't want to try start to get over here, you want to make sure going to that way. So that's the basic moves, we will be hoping a little bit later that's a little more advance and actually one of the benefits and the fun parts of the game but know that it's one hole at a time. From here to here and then they move and you go here to here, here to here and you can move any of you men at anytime but you have to take turns and make sure you're going the right direction. "
