A primitive form of checkers, also known as draughts, existed more than 40 centuries ago. In the 14th century the chess board was utilised and this gave rise to the term checkers, being played on a checkered board. Google the word 'draughts' or 'checkers' and you will find lots of information on the rules and the history of this fascinating game. |

|
The giant checkers (draughts) set is made from very durable PVC. The giant mat (for
chess or checkers) is of light weight nylon material and neatly
folds into a handy bag (as pictured). |
