Check 4 bills itself as “the most exciting change to the game of checkers in 300 years!”
Check 4 consists of seven different games for two or four persons or teams:
Four-Way Checkers - The traditional checker game played with four people with some rules changes.
Teleportation - Uses special board squares allowing players to move and materialize at other places on the board. 2 or 4 players.
Players Chance - Same rules as Four-Way Checkers, played with dice. The dice determine who is allowed to move each turn. 2 or 4 players.
Six-Piece Checkers - Each player starts with six pieces. Additional pieces may be earned as the game progresses. 2 or 4 players.
Decoy - Each player has 12 pieces, consisting of six pieces of two colors each. One set is real, the other is a decoy. 2 players.
Protection - Each player has 12 pieces, 3 of which are a different color. Get one of the special pieces home safe to win. 2 players.
Super Diagonal - Each player has 12 pieces, 4 of which are a different color. The four special pieces are allowed to move more than one space at a time. 2 players.
The board is an 8x8 grid, with an additional 3x8 starting section along each side for each player. The checkers come in four sets of 12.
