How to use these guides

Try to predict the answer in each worked example before reading the explanation. When you practise, use the same question on every turn: what can my opponent do immediately after my move? This habit is more useful than rushing through a large number of games.

Rules vary between games and platforms. The Checkers and Dominoes guides describe the variants used by Go Play Daily’s tournament game engine. Always check the settings shown for the specific mode you enter.
