How to play Chinese Checkers
Taking a turn
- Move exactly one marble: either one step to an adjacent empty hole, or a chain of hops.
- A hop jumps in a straight line over one adjacent marble — anyone’s — into the empty hole directly beyond it.
- Hops can chain: after landing you may keep hopping with the same marble, and you may stop after any hop. Hopping is never forced.
- Hopped marbles are never captured — everything stays on the board.
The star
- Everyone starts with ten marbles in one point of the star; your goal is the point directly opposite.
- You may pass through any hole, but you can’t end a move inside a corner that isn’t your start or your target.
- With 2, 3, 4 or 6 players the corners are balanced automatically; opposite corners always pair up.
Winning
- The first player to fill all ten holes of their target corner wins.
- If opponent marbles are still sitting in your target corner, the holes they hold count as filled — camping at home can hand the race to the incoming player.
