The game is known as Draughts in United Kingdom and Checkers in the United States of America.
The "Draughts Board" is positioned on the laps of both players that are seated or sometimes the board is put on top of a table. The Central Line or Longest Line (diagonal) has to be at the right hand side of both players.
The seeds (20 seeds (Pieces) for each player) are arranged on the black squares and all moves are made on the Black squares. Both players will take turn by being the first to make a move with every new game. Lots are drawn to establish the first person to start.

4. King moves any number of step(s) forward or backward (diagonally) during playing and when eating (capture) provided that the place it wants to go is a straight line (diagonal) with the previous place it stood in a flying fashion. Whenever a King (crown), during a capture, meets, either or the same diagonal or on one of the perpendicular diagonal, a seed of the opponent behind which are one or more empty squares, he is obliged to pass over that second piece, if needed turning a corner towards the seed that can be eaten-up, even a third etc, the king will finally stop behind any empty space he so desire of the last seed captured on the same diagonal.
