A British board game played on a checkered board with round pieces that players move diagonally, also called checkers in American English.
Plural of 'draught,' from the game's origin in southern France in the 12th century where it combined chess rules with the game of alquerque.
Checkers/draughts is a fascinating linguistic divide—Americans say 'checkers' (from the checkered board) while the British say 'draughts' (from the pieces being drawn across the board), both describing the same ancient game!
