Officially, the game ends in a draw when there have been three exactly the same positions, and more than 51 moves have been made. It is not allowed to wait for this mistake by playing the board game endlessly. Both players cannot win anymore, unless the opponent makes a mistake. Some board games end undecided the game ended in a draw. When both players do not have an empty field after 50 moves, there will be a draw. Also, when you replace one of your own stones in your own camp after 50 moves, you will automatically lose. To prevent someone to keep his own stones in his own camp, and by that making it impossible for his opponent to place his stones in that camp, your own camp (and your opponents camp) needs to be empty after 50 moves. You can achieve this by creating a line of stones, which you can jump over in every move. ![]() ![]() The goal of Halma is to get your stones in the corner of your opponent as fast as you can. As shown below, white has moved all his stones in blacks field, and therefore white has won. The board game is finished when one player managed to move all his stones in the opponent's field. And when you did jump and there are other jumps possible, but you want to stop anyway, you can. In contradiction to checkers, the stones to not disappear from the field. To do this, you simply click the next place that you want to go to after each jump. A stone can make more than one jump in one turn this makes it possible to jump over the whole field. In the example below, white is jumping.Ī jump can also be made in each direction horizontaly, vertically or diagonally. A stone can also jump over neighbourly stones (either your own or your opponents), as long as the stone will land on an empty space. The moving can be done in all directions (horizontally, vertically and diagonally). On each turn, you can move one of your stones (you always move them to an empty space). The name says it all Halma is Greek for 'jump'.Īt the beginning of the board game, each player has 15 stones in his own camp (bottom right on the field). You are even allowed to jump over several stones after each other. It does not matter which stones you jump over, it can either be yours or your opponents. You do not use the same strategy as when you play checkers you just jump over the stones. The goal of each player is to take over the opponent's camp on the other side with your own stones. Called targets, mibs, or commies, they are 16mm game size with either a tumbled frosty finish or a glossy fancy finish.Halma (also called Chinese Checkers) on yourturnmyturn, is played with two players on a 10x10 board. To my surprise, I found a small shop in Bonner Springs, KS, not far from where I grew up, and their marbles are fantastic. It took some time to find marbles which felt nice, looked great, and were made well. I spend more time doing it this way, but it means everyone is playing on truly unique piece. I cut an organic edge or two into each top, which means each base is made specific to its top. When introduced into the US around the turn of the 20th century, it was renamed Chinese checkers to appeal to the American market at the time. “Sternhalma” is the original name for the game, and in fact the game as we know it originated in Germany, not China. Each Sternhalma board is one-of-a-kind, and there’s currently only 10 of them. Made entirely by hand from luxurious walnut, these Chinese Checkers gameboards are sure to always sit on display, ready to play. ![]()
