Comment: Requires significant coverage from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Even if a game exists, the subject needs to receive outside coverage from people not directly associated with the promotion of Jamaican draughts. The current sources are not reliable coverage.

Jamaican Draughts/Checkers, is a variant of draughts, played in Jamaica.[1][2] It has many similarities with American Pool Checkers, considering that only the orientation of the checkerboard changes.[3][4] It is officially recognized as a national sport.[5]
Basic rules[edit]
As in the related game English draughts (also known as American checkers or straight checkers), the game is played on an 8x8 board with the double corner (corner without a checker) to each player's left.[6][7] The opponent playing the dark pieces will start the game by making the first move. One difference from the rules of English checkers is that a piece may capture both forward and backward. A player must capture an opponent's checker when possible (both forward and backward), but if two possibilities exist, the player may choose the sequence (even if one sequence has more jumps). The pieces are not removed until all jumps are completed and the player's hand is removed from his piece. A player may not capture an opponent more than one time. A player may not capture his own pieces. Another difference is that kings are flying kings. A king can jump any number of squares forward and backward. A king can make right turns after a jump and continue along another path after successfully taking an opponent. A king must also make all the possible jumps during a sequence. If the condition arises that one player has three kings and the other has just one king, the player who has the three kings must win within thirteen moves (even if the fourteenth move is a capture).[3]
Competition[edit]
Tournaments exist for Jamaican draughts.[8] A Jamaican team competed in Russia at the world Draughts 64 Championships in 2017.
