Version History The control of game pieces now works the same on macOS and iOS: Both versions support Drag & Drop, or you can tap a piece and then tap the target square.
iPad now has its own layout for use in landscape mode. 3.1.2 Feb 22 Bugfix for International Checkers 3.1.1 Feb 19 8 different computer opponents for more finely tuned difficulty levels. 3.1 Jan 10 Small bugfix in Undo function 3.0.2 Jan 6 This is a major update!

Dame 3.0 now runs with the new BitQueen engine.
Compared to the old engine, it is lightning fast and allows for a much deeper search tree. However, for technical reasons, we had to drop Canadian Checkers (12x12 board).

We have added a large opening book for Checkers and International Draughts.
An endgame database was deliberately omitted because Dame 3.0 is not meant to become an unbeatable, perfectly playing digital monster.

There are new designs. A marble and a glass design provide visual variety.

The 2‑player mode now works not only locally, but also over the local network and even worldwide via Game Center.
Make sure to agree on which rules you have set beforehand, otherwise your devices will not find each other over the network. 3.0 12/26/2025 * Fine tuned game heuristics
