Dice and Checkers is a modern board game that combines elements of strategy and chance. It is played on a standard checkerboard, but instead of traditional checkers pieces, players use custom dice. The game involves rolling these dice and using the results to move and capture opponent's pieces, much like in the game of checkers. However, the dice introduce an element of randomness, as the possible moves and actions are determined by the dice roll.

The objective of Dice and Checkers is to be the first player to capture all of the opponent's dice or to maneuver your dice into a position where the opponent cannot make a legal move. Players typically roll a set number of dice at the beginning of their turn, and then use the pips or symbols on the dice to move their pieces. Different dice faces may represent different movement options, such as moving a certain number of spaces, jumping over an opponent's piece, or even special abilities that can alter the game state.

The rules for capturing are similar to checkers, where a piece is removed from the board when it is jumped over by an opponent's piece. However, the dice can influence the conditions for a capture. For example, a specific dice roll might be required to enable a capture, or a dice roll could determine the direction of a jump. The game can be played by two players, and typically lasts for a moderate amount of time, offering a blend of tactical planning and the excitement of chance.
