How to make a Chinese Checkers Board

Step 4 How to play

To play the game each player puts his or her own colored marbles on one of the six points or corners of the star and attempts to relocate them all to the opposite corner. Players take turns moving one marble, either by moving it one single adjacent step or moving a chain of one or any other number of available jumps. A step consists of moving a marble to an adjacent unoccupied space in any of the six available directions.  A jump consists of jumping directly over a single adjacent marble, either one's own or an opponent's into the unoccupied space directly beyond the adjacent marble, this can be repeated to form a chain. It is not mandatory to advance the marble by as many jumps as is possible in the chain. In some instances a player may choose to stop the move part way through the chain to impede the opponent's progress or to align their marbles for planned future moves.
