I just don't understand why #checkers / #draughts is played on a checkered board. Such a missed opportunity for a staggered pin grid array #SPGA.
If you don't draw rectangles for fields, but represent fields as positions and draw connecting lines between them, you end up with pretty diamond-shapes.
Attached is a playing field for the checkers variant #Lasca that I am currently exploring. Nicely printable for A4 (if you are interested I can provide a PDF).

Was a last-minute decision because we couldn't get a table at #Draughts the games cafe round the corner. I'm kinda neutral about #Brewdog. They have some beers I like - Hazy Jane, Dead Pony - but I understand the criticisms levelled at them. I used to love their bar at Cambridge Circus. Funny to think how huge they've got, though.

Surprisingly few people have strong opinions on the best console #checkers or #draughts video game of 1980.
My pick would be #Activision Checkers on the #Atari2600: it’s simple and presents ‘kings’ as a stack like on a real board.
Video Checkers has inexplicably sluggish controls and inferior presentation. #Intellivision Checkers seems fine, though its controls are unnecessarily complicated.
Have at you! … Ahem. #retrogames
