Canadian Checkers
Requirements
Description
This is the "Grand jeu de dames" of Canada's French settlers, sharing the same rules of what is now known as International Checkers, but on a 12x12 board (of 1-3/8" wide squares) with 30 pieces to a side. Previously (at least in the US) this has only been available by making your own or by finding an antique homemade board at a garage sale. Now you can buy one ready-made, featuring a quad-fold board with wood-patterned graphics and including pieces of blue (with a white fleur-de-lis) and white (with a red maple leaf.) Don't miss out on this classic!
NOTE: Due to The Game Crafter discontinuing their boxes, this game is now published without a box.
Catamount Games is dedicated to making available those traditional, abstract, or obscure games that have been neglected or short-shrifted in today's marketplace. For more detailed information on any of these games, click the links to the right for "Free Downloads" and "More Info."
