Chinese Checkers
Star-shaped board game
Chinese checkers is a board game for two to six players in which colored pegs or marbles are moved across a star-shaped board.
The goal is to move all your pieces from one point of the star to the opposite point before your opponents do.
Despite the name, the game originated in Germany, not China, and bears no relation to checkers.
