Definition: Lake Superior Checkers is a two player checkers/draughts game featuring Kathryn Grube's Circle Tour Trivia Questions.

Object: The object of the game is to capture all your opponent's checkers or block them so they cannot be moved.

Checkers Movement: Checkers always move on the diagonal, one square at a time, toward the other player's side of the checkerboard.

Capturing: You capture an opponent's checker by diagonally hoping over it to a vacant space. If a capture is available on your turn, you must take it.

Multiple Capturing: You may capture more than one checker with multiple moves. This move becomes your next takeoff point.

Crowning: If you get a checker to the last row of the checkerboard, double the checker piece. This is the symbolic act of Crowning the King. The new double checker can move or capture, by going forwards or back, but always on the diagonal.
