draughts
Cold air flows
Draughts is the British name for the board game Americans call checkers—two players moving round pieces diagonally across a checkered board, capturing by jumping over opponents.
Fancy a game of draughts?
The singular draught has other meanings: a current of air, a drink taken in one swallow, or the depth a ship sits in water.
