The game that rewards rebels, reunites families, and sharpens minds.
Aussie Checkers is a great Australian game of skill for the whole family. In concept it is a little like football — two teams line up facing each other, and the goal is to slip one piece past your opponent to the far end of the board. Simple to learn in minutes, yet endlessly tactical. Pure strategy, no luck involved.
Aussie Checkers began as a deceptively simple idea: take the familiar friendliness of draughts, then layer in the tactical richness of chess. The result is a game that anyone can pick up in minutes, yet one that rewards foresight, patience, and nerve.
In concept, it is a bit like football. Two opposing teams line up facing each other, and the object is to get one of your players past the opposing team to the opposite end of the board. It demands skill and judgement. Attack with too many pieces and you leave holes in your defensive line; attack with too few and your advance may fail, leaving you open to a counter-attack. The winner is the player who strikes the right balance between attack and defence.
Imagine combining the simplicity of traditional checkers with the strategic depth of chess. That's Aussie Checkers.
Produced under the Greens label as "a great new Australian game of skill for the whole family", Aussie Checkers was built on four promises printed on the very first box: easy and fun to play, simple to learn, played in minutes, and an exciting challenge for two players.
The manifesto
Think Different.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers.
The round heads in the square holes — the ones who see things differently. They are not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you cannot do is ignore them, because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius — because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.
Aussie Checkers is a game for exactly those people: the ones who would rather out-think than follow.
