Based on the ancient and addictive original, Chinese Checkers Master brings strategic marble-moving to your desktop. With origins in an even older game called Halma, Chinese Checkers allows up to six people to play around a star-shaped board. The killing here is purely metaphorical; your task is to move all your marbles into the opposing triangle point as if they were troops on a battlefield. The graphics are not stunning, but you can change the background. No music distracts you from the meditative nature of the game. Novices will appreciate the Undo feature and hints, while more advanced players can use the timer and statistics to improve their games.

Pros
Easy to install.
Cons
This game doesn't look like it's any fun. It feels like a business application. I agree with the last review - the board is too small!
Summary
Ugly and tiny
brainycat
Pros
Tracks games played well
Cons
This program feels very outdated. The graphics are ugly and make the playing pieces hard to see. The board is way too small and does not resize no matter how big you make the window. The computer player is too easy to beat. Go with Superultimate Chinese Checkers instead!
Summary
