Overall Checkers – 2 Players is everything a board game on the iPad should be but it has its flaws. They have a very nice slide to download button that functions like the iOS lock screen and it takes you to the App Store. The app website is also worth checking out.

A new game can be initiated by tapping the options button and clicking new game which then confirms the same with the opponent on the other side. When a piece reaches the other side, a tap on it converts it into a king piece which is insanely great looking. Gameplay is just like the real thing and while you have to move every piece individually, the game will not let you place a piece on a light coloured square. The board designs here are very reminiscent of those expensive boards with custom engraving that were way too expensive at the stores. Every little thing like changing the piece colours has its own nice animation.

There are 8 colour choices for pieces including a natural wood finish which is my personal favourite and 4 board options. I cannot emphasize how much effort has gone into the subtleties of the pieces and the board design here. You are presented with an excellent instructions page after launching the app that explains the rules in short. There is no AI or single player mode or even any Game Center integration. The game is a virtual checkers box for your iPad and as the name states, it needs 2 people to play. The trio of Louis Mantia, Brad Ellis, and Jessie Char who are well known in the design community for their iconic work now present us with their own take on checkers for the iPad, Checkers – 2 Players.Ĭheckers – 2 Players is all about simplicity, beauty, and the core concept of a board game which is interacting with someone else. Board games have always been about playing with someone else and the ones seen today encourage solo play or playing over the internet with an unknown person. We have seen many boardgames make their way to iOS in the last few years but most of them are either too complicated or just not executed well on a touch screen. Apps like Scrabble allow you to use the iPad screen as the board with iPod touches or iPhones as tile racks connected over the network or bluetooth. The iPad has become the quintessential replacement for the board games today. In iPad Checkers – 2 Players is a Gorgeous Box of Checkers for Your iPad
