Frisian Checkers
Description"Oer Alles" (translates as "Over All") The "normal" version of draughts only slowly made its way into Friesland, and is known there as "Oer Hoek" (over corners) or "Hollânsk damjen/Hollands dammen". These days you are more likely to hear people talk about "Frysk Damjen" than "Oer Hoek". The set-up and basic movement is identical to the commonly known game, but it won't be long before the main difference will become very apparent: capturing isn't restricted to just diagonal jumps, but can be executed horizontally and vertically as well. Yes, a piece can capture in all 8 directions! If you think that makes it easier to solve, try it. It has a lot more action but it doesn't become easier. There are other subtle variations: A few more names: And more still: There is even a game played in Siberia that follows very similar rules to Frisian Draughts, except that it is played on a 64 field chess board.
