dantheclammanChinese checkers (actually a German-American game)
StriderAh, Halma as we call it in Germany. Sadly it’s not too popular (being played) but still popular enough to be included in every basic collection.
Back in the 70s/80s in the US everyone seemed to have a board but nobody seemed to play it.
Dan York@Towwebbed @Strider Ah, memories! We used to play this very frequently in my family when growing up… back in the 70s/80s. I just realized that I haven’t played it in years, and we don’t even have a board anymore. It was fun!
My entire childhood was a racist lie!
You’re pretty lucky/privileged if this is your first time making that realization 😂
Similarly, the oriental riff often used in movies is a western creation
Is there another game also called Chinese checkers? This looks unfamiliar but I feel like I’ve been asked if I want to play a few times in early school years. Maybe my mind has just deteriorated too much though
