How do you play draughts board game?

Draughts, also known as checkers, is played on an 8x8 board with each player starting with 12 pieces placed on the dark squares of the three rows closest to them. Players take turns moving their pieces diagonally forward to an unoccupied square, capturing an opponent's piece by jumping over it. If a piece reaches the opponent's back row, it is promoted to a "king," allowing it to move both forward and backward. The game ends when one player captures all of the opponent's pieces or blocks them from making a legal move.
