The Origins of Checkers

Checkers, also known as draughts in some countries, is one of the oldest board games in the world. Archaeological evidence suggests that a similar game was played in ancient Mesopotamia as early as 3000 BCE. The modern version of checkers was developed in the 12th century in France, where it was called "Fierges" or "Ferses."

The Birth of Checkers by Fireplace

In 2023, our team of game developers came together with a shared vision: to create a checkers game that would appeal to both traditional players and a new generation of gamers. We wanted to preserve the strategic depth of the classic game while adding modern elements like beautiful pixel art graphics and seamless multiplayer functionality.

The development of Checkers by Fireplace took over six months of dedicated work. We spent countless hours perfecting the game mechanics, designing the pixel art interface, and ensuring the multiplayer experience was smooth and lag-free. Our team conducted extensive playtesting with both casual players and checkers enthusiasts to refine the gameplay.
