This classic game, Chinese checkers (or Sternhalma), is a fun strategy game for 2-6 players.  It's a simple game, recommended for kids ages 3+

 

This board is crafted in cherry, approximately 10.5 x 12 x 3/4", finished with all-natural coconut oil and is made to order. 

 

To play:

Use 10 colored marbles or felt balls per player and start on the outer corners of the star.  

The aim is to race all of one's pieces into the star corner on the opposite side of the board before the opponents do the same. The destination corner is called home. Each player starts with their colored pieces on one of the six points or corners of the star and attempt to race them all home into the opposite corner. Players take turns moving a single piece, either by moving one step in any direction to an adjacent empty space, or by jumping in one or any number of available consecutive hops over other single pieces. A player may not combine hopping with a single-step move.
