Crown Rush Checkers: street-style checkers with a crew.
Crown Rush Checkers is a complete checkers HTML5 template with full source code, played with Brazilian draughts rules: mandatory captures, men that capture backwards and kings that fly along the diagonals. The match happens on a painted stone table in a street-art plaza, against Tito, Amora or Olívia. Pieces move with a click, a tap, a drag or the keyboard, on desktop and mobile, in landscape and portrait, from any static web hosting.
Five ways to play
Versus CPU has three opponents and three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal and Hard). Two players can share the board on the same device. The campaign has 9 matches across 3 arenas, and there are three quick challenges and an interactive tutorial that teaches the rules step by step.
Brazilian rules, easy to follow
Capturing is mandatory, and the game says so on screen and marks the pieces that must capture. A hint, an undo and a rules panel are available during the match, and a match can be continued after closing the page. The computer opponent thinks in a Web Worker, so the interface stays responsive.
Arenas, piece sets and sound
Three arenas (Checkers Plaza, Skate Park and Night Rooftop), six piece sets in the Collection and statistics. Three music tracks and sound effects have separate volumes, there are three animation speeds, and the board can be played with the keyboard and read by screen readers.
Your game, your hosting
Upload the contents of the game folder to static HTTP(S) hosting. No PHP, database, account or Node.js is needed on the server, and the game makes no external requests: artwork, music and fonts are all local. Progress is saved in the player's browser. The interface comes in 14 languages.
What this edition does not include
Native apps, hosting and custom development are not included, nor are online multiplayer, an online ranking, accounts, cloud saves, payments or an advertising SDK.
Who this template is for
Site and portal owners who want a classic board game for every age, freelancers and studios building a branded checkers game for a client, and developers who want to learn from readable TypeScript with a computer opponent and automated tests.
Customise it
The customization guide shows, with numbered real screenshots, which file to change for each part of the screen: pictures, characters, piece sets, music, texts and translations, colours, fonts and difficulty. Pictures and music can be swapped directly in the game folder by keeping the same file name; everything else is changed in the source. The source is readable TypeScript (Phaser 4, Vite) with 87 automated tests; rebuilding needs Node.js 26.13 or newer, with npm ci, npm test and npm run build.
The three panels above are promotional illustrations. The screenshot gallery shows the actual game.
