Chinese Checkers is played on a star-shaped game board. In this game each player uses a different colored set of marbles and places them into a point of the star. The idea of the game is to manipulate your marbles across the board to occupy the star point directly opposite. Never remove a marble after a jump is made. All marbles stay on playing board. The player getting all marbles across first wins.
The game is started by anyone and the play continues to the left of the starter. One can move or Jump in any direction as long as one follows the lines. As in checkers, move only one hole or jump only one marble;although successive jumps are permissible wherever they can be made in any direction.
Partners may be chosen and in the event of one partner finishing first,he or she is permitted to help the unfinished partner move the latter's marbles. As the playing of the game draws to a conclusion it must be distinctly understood that a player cannot stubbornly remain in his or her original starting point in order to prevent an opponent from finishing the game.
