Italian draughts: the board on the TV, the moves on your phone

CouchGame draughts follows the Italian rules: captures are forced, among several captures you must take the most pieces, a man cannot capture a king and a man reaching the far side becomes a king.

The board is on the TV, with the path of the last move traced. Everyone plays from their own phone, where forced captures are already highlighted. Play with a friend or against the CPU on three levels.
