Why this site:
A resource like this didn't exist for Chinese Checkers, so I made it...

Site made with:
IrfanView, SnagIt and Paint Shop Pro (PSP), Microsoft FrontPage 2000 and later edited   

Please help me:
Do you know other games than the ones I have listed? Do you have any other info about the history of Halma and Chinese Checkers? Please let me know...
