Pool checkers, or also called "American pool checkers", is a variant of draughts, in which men can jump backwards and there are flying kings. The setup is exactly the same as American checkers. Unlike Brazilian checkers (a variant that has exactly the same rules as international draughts, but is played on a 8x8 board), a player may choose which sequence to jump regardless if one sequence has more jumps. This is the only different rule between Brazilian and pool checkers. The game is mainly played in the South-Eastern states in the United States.
Poolcheckers, also called "American poolcheckers", is a variant of draughts, mainly played in the southeastern United States.
As in the related game English draughts (also known as American checkers or straight checkers), the game is played on an 8x8 board with the double corner (corner without a checker) to each players right.
One difference from the rules of English checkers is that a piece may move both forward and backward.
