A Chinese Checkers derivative for 2 to 5 players by Néstor Romeral Andrés.
Satan's Checkers uses a pentagram-shaped board, fixes some of the issues of its predecessor and also includes a few more rules and goals. Its oldest ancestor, Halma (Jump) came from the mind of Monks, an American, around 1882 . A decade later, it evolved into Stern-Halma (Star Halma) in Germany; 26 years after that, it was rebranded in the US to [ Hop Ching ] Chinese Checkers . But the devil is in the details, and 89 years later still, the 6-pointed star is 5-pointed, and its routes and connections are no longer congruent: Satan's Checkers has reared its horned head! Chinese Checkers warily welcomes this black goat to the family.
Components: Special 5-pointed- star board with holes and paths connecting them (laser-cut and engraved acrylic; 32 cm diameter), 10 plastic flames of each colour (red, yellow, blue, green, white) that can be inserted in the holes, one black flame (Satan's flame), carrying bag.
Disclaimer: The designer is not satanic. The game name, aesthetics and theme are for entertainment purposes only. Like a joke, you know?
