The Nigerian 10x10 board is mirrored: the bottom-left corner is LIGHT, and the Central Line (Highway / Longest Diagonal) runs on the player's RIGHT-HAND SIDE from bottom-right (sq 50) to top-left (sq 1)!
Captures are strictly compulsory, but unlike International rules, Nigerian Street Draughts grants FREE CHOICE: if multiple capture lines exist, you can choose any sequence you prefer.
Ordinary pieces advance diagonally forward, but when capturing an enemy seed, ordinary seeds CAN JUMP BOTH FORWARD AND BACKWARD!
Kings can glide across open diagonals, capture from a distance, and land on any vacant square beyond along that diagonal!
Draw by 25 consecutive king moves without a capture, 3-fold repetition of position, or mutual agreement.
In traditional Ghanaian Draughts, when games reach the final endgame, piece count determines the official adjudication:
When a piece reaches the opponent's backline (the promotion line), your turn terminates immediately and the piece is crowned as King. The piece cannot jump backward or continue in the same move; it begins moving as King on subsequent turns!
In Ghanaian Draughts Association (GDA) and street play, if an endgame reaches 3 Kings vs 1 King, the player with 3 Kings has a strict limit of 16 moves to capture the lone King. If not captured within 16 moves, a DRAW is officially declared!
Captures are compulsory. Like Nigeria, Ghana Damii does NOT enforce maximum capture: players have the freedom to pick any capture sequence. Kings glide any distance across empty diagonals.
While Nigerian and Ghanaian draughts place the bottom-left corner as a light square with the Central Line (Highway) on the player's right, International Draughts (FMJD) board is oriented the opposite way ("otherwise"):
Under official FMJD International Draughts regulations, when multiple capture sequences are available, the player MUST choose the line that captures the MAXIMUM NUMBER of pieces! Quality does not matter (capturing 3 men overrides capturing 2 kings).
A man that traverses the king row during a multiple jump ONLY promotes if it STOPS on the king row at the end of the jump. If it has a continuing capture off the king row, it must continue jumping as a MAN and does NOT promote!
Draw by 25 consecutive king moves without capture, 16 moves in 3 Kings vs 1 King, 5 moves in 2 Kings vs 1 King on main diagonal, or 3-fold repetition.
Player 1 took all seeds!
Sweet Execution! You Sabi Play Die!
