The Game
Chinese checkers, also called Sternhalma or Chinese chequers, is a classic German board game. Played on a star-shaped board by 2–6 players, the goal is to move all your pieces from your starting corner to the opposite one.

Bots
Choose from three AI opponents: “weak bot,” “medium bot,” and “strong bot.”
The weak bot mimics a beginner, making suboptimal moves—ideal for new players.
The medium bot offers a tougher challenge but is beatable with experience.
