How do you play draughts and what are the rules for the game?

Draughts, also known as checkers, is a two-player strategy game played on a board with 64 squares. Each player starts with 12 pieces placed on the dark squares of the three rows closest to them. The goal is to capture all of your opponent's pieces or block them from moving.

Players take turns moving their pieces diagonally forward to an adjacent empty square. If an opponent's piece is adjacent to yours and there is an empty square behind it, you can jump over and capture it. Captured pieces are removed from the board.

The game ends when one player captures all of their opponent's pieces or blocks them from moving. If a player cannot make a legal move, they lose. The player with the most pieces left on the board wins.
