TaupinArt was founded with a simple belief: the best games don't need flashy graphics or expensive hardware. They need depth, clarity, and respect for the player's intelligence. Checkers — one of humanity's oldest board games — embodies that perfectly.
Our small team of designers and developers set out to create the definitive browser-based checkers experience. No downloads, no ads cluttering the board, no distractions. Just a beautifully crafted game that plays as well on a phone as it does on a desktop monitor.
Every decision we make is guided by these core principles.
Checkers Master runs in any modern browser. No downloads, no plugins, no barriers. We believe great games should be available to everyone, everywhere.
From the warm palette of the board to the smooth drag-and-drop controls, every detail is considered. We design for clarity and comfort.
Checkers has been played for over 5,000 years. We honour that legacy by following standard rules faithfully while making the experience feel modern and polished.
We collect only the minimal data needed to keep the site running. No trackers, no profiling, no selling your information. Your moves are your own.
Checkers Master is a faithful digital adaptation of the classic draughts board game. It features a clean 8×8 board, intuitive drag-and-drop piece movement, and full enforcement of standard rules — including mandatory captures, multi-jump sequences, and king promotions.
The game is built with modern web technologies and runs entirely in your browser. It's optimised for both mouse and touch input, so whether you're on a laptop during lunch or on your phone during a commute, the experience is equally smooth.
Play NowThe earliest form of checkers was discovered in the ancient city of Ur in modern-day Iraq, dating back to roughly 3000 BCE. The game spread across cultures — known as "draughts" in Britain, "dames" in France, and "dama" in Italy. Today it remains one of the most widely played board games in the world.
We built Checkers Master to keep that tradition alive in the digital age, preserving the game's elegant simplicity while making it effortlessly accessible to a new generation of players.
