Italian checkers Android Game

The description of Italian checkers: italian checkers is a variant of the checkers family played mainly in italy and northern africa. It is a two handed game played on a board consisting of sixty four squares thirty two white and thirty two black. There are twenty four pieces: twelve white and twelve black. The board is placed so that the rightmost square on both sides of the board is black. White always moves first and players alternate moving. Men move one square diagonally forward. Should they reach the file farthest from the player to which they belong they become kings. This is denoted by placing another piece of the same colour on top of them (or if this is impossible placing another piece of the other colour underneath them). Kings can move forward or back one square again only diagonally. Capturing is mandatory in italian draughts. Should a man be found neighbouring an opposing piece behind which is an empty position the player is compelled to attain this empty position and remove the opposing man from the board..
