Italian draughts

Italian draughts (Italian: Dama italiana) is a variant of the draughts family played mainly in Italy and Northern Africa.

It is a two-handed game played on a board consisting of sixty-four squares, thirty-two white and thirty-two black.

The first World Championship, won by Damiano Sciuto, was held in 2024.

A number of rules apply to captures in Italian draughts, whether by men or kings; this tends to make Italian draughts a game where many mistakes can be made.
