YORK YANKEES
Sticker Sheet Instructions
™
Number of Players: 2
Ages: 6 and up
Contents: 24 checkers, 8 king pieces, 1 game board, 1 sticker sheet
Set Up: Players have 12 pieces, which
they each place on the dark squares of
the first three rows on their side of the
board. One player’s pieces are red and
the other’s are white.
Moving: Before a game starts, players
flip a coin or otherwise randomly decide
who gets the red pieces, which always
move first. Each checker can move
forward on a diagonal, one space at a
time. Once you lift your finger from the
piece, the move is final.
Jumping: Pieces can jump opponent’s
pieces diagonally in a forward direction
as long as there is an empty space to
land on. This will capture the opponent’s
piece (removing it from the board). A
player must jump if the opportunity
presents itself. Players can make
multiple jumps if possible, and the
piece can change direction between
jumps (although only kings can move
backward).
™
Checker Stickers: The sticker sheet includes 24 logo stickers and 8 cap stickers.
The logo stickers should be placed centered within the smooth side of the
checker.
Pieces move diagonally
red checker
white checker
A player can jump multiple
times in different directions
Baseball Cap Stickers: The cap stickers should be placed centered on the front
of the baseball cap.
King: When a piece reaches the base
path on the opposite side of the board
from where it started, it becomes a
“king”. The player flips over their checker
and locks a Yankees™ cap into place.
Kings can move one space diagonally
both forward and backward.
Winner: A game of checkers ends when one player captures all of the opponent’s
pieces. In a case where neither player can capture the opponent’s pieces, the
game ends in a draw.
