Game History
Checkers by Fireplace was created by a team of passionate game developers who wanted to bring the classic game of checkers into the modern era. Our goal was to create an engaging, accessible, and visually appealing version of this timeless game.
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.
Development Journey
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.

Since its launch, Checkers by Fireplace has attracted players from over 50 countries. Our multilingual support (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish) has helped us build a truly global community of checkers enthusiasts.
