Throne Room — frequently asked questions
How is Throne Room different from checkers?
Pieces slide orthogonally and jump like checkers, but the goal is the central 4×4 Throne Room — you win by clearing your opponent's pieces out of it, not off the whole board.
Can I jump my own pieces in Throne Room?
Yes. You can jump over your own pieces without capturing them to set up chains — only opponent pieces you jump are removed.
Can I play Throne Room against the computer?
Yes. Play a friend in real time or take on a computer opponent at Easy, Medium, or Hard.
