Description

It seems board games is here to stay. In the era of graphically advanced computer games with different characters and complex plots, board games remain popular. Isn't it surprising that games like draughts are still a bestseller? People not only buy traditional board games but also search websites where they could play against a virtual opponent and download apps on their phones.

In Africa, you will normally see men seating together paying draughts. Sometimes at home in rural settings when taking a break from work in the field. This could be in the evening or late afternoon. When men are waiting for work in centres and towns they play draughts. They say they are “killing” time as they wait for possible employers.

However, everyone who begins their adventure with draughts should remember that the rules followed by people in different countries are not the same. There are different variants in playing styles. One thing about this game is that it is loved the world over up to this day of modern computers and digital games.
