The stage is set, it's a gathering around the kitchen table and the stakes are high. Last weeks champion is looking to keep her title, however her older brother is out to even the score this week. Their motives may be clear but mom may have a trick up her sleeve this week. It's family game night and time for some action that requires thinking and strategy. This week's game has been laid out and the participants are ready for action. It's a game with simple rules that can be enjoyed by players young and old. A game with a long history and while it will force you to think and provide you with entertainment as the players go at it with enthusiasm. The game this week is Chinese Checkers. A perfect game for your family games nights. The beauty of it is that it can include 2, 3, 4 or 6 players, making the game different from traditional checkers.
An interesting fact about the classic board game Chinese checkers, it was not created or started in China or by the Chinese for that matter. The name was given to the game by Americans in an effort to market the game to a broader audience and make it more appealing to the western world. It was developed in 1892 by a German Toy company and at it's inception it was called Stern-Halma. While play involved hopping over pieces to move across the board like traditional checkers, you do no remove any pieces off the board. Rather than just black and red, there are 6 groups of different colored marbles, each color assigned to a different player. A group can enjoy playing and using strategy to maneuver their players from their home point in the hexagram shape board, directly across the board to occupy a new space. Moving either to an open space beside your player or hopping over a player to gain more ground. The first player with all ten of their colored marbles in the new position in their opponent home space now is declared the winner.
Once the game is underway it can move at a very fast pace. A simple hop to the side, skip to the left or jump over a piece then the next player is on deck for the same type of fast move. Never underestimate the skills of anyone in this highly spirited setting. Classic board games like Chinese checkers can bring out the extremely competitive side in anyone, young, old, experienced or a rookie. Anyone could be victorious!
A classic board game that has stood the test of time and still enjoyed by many is Chinese checkers. http://www.thegamesupply.com/.
