Description
Turkish draughts (also known as Dama) is a variant of draughts (checkers) played in Turkey.
How to Play
On an 8x8 board, 16 pieces are lined up on each side, in two rows, skipping the furthest back.
Pieces can move forward or sideways one square, capturing by means of a jump.
Kings may move any number of squares forwards or sideways, capturing (which is forced) by jumping over any piece and landing in any square within permissible path beyond said piece.
