Halma, or Alma as it was originally called, was a popular favorite for years. The name Halma is derived from a Greek word meaning jump ... and jump you will. Basically you might call it an expansion of Checkers, where both a move and a jump can be made. And not just any old jump! You can jump in any direction, continuously, as long as there is an empty space to jump to. Pieces are not removed in jumps but it helps you to reach your goal of moving all your pieces to the opposite side of the board.

Game components include : Gameboard, 19 ea. red & blue Playing pieces (for 2 player game), 13 ea. green & yellow Playing pieces (for 4 player game) & instructions.

Two -or- four players. Ages 8 & up. Spears Games from 1991.
