Jacob nods" ok so Checkers is played by two players. Each player begins the game with 12 colored disc in our case one is black and he other is red you put them on the squares closest to you and then take turns moving the disc trying to jump them and take them out which is when one disc is diagonal to the opposite teams disc  with a space behind once you get to the other side of the bored you flip over your circle making it a king or queen  and those can move backwards while the rest can't and then to win the game you have to get out all of the other players disc"
