Chinese Checkers board game in faux leather pouch, Stern Halma 35cm, 13.78inch diameter

Chinese checkers, originally known as Stern Halma, is a strategy board game of German origin that can be played by two, three, four, or six people, playing individually or with partners.

The objective is to be first to race all of one's pieces across the hexagram-shaped board into "home"—the corner of the star opposite one's starting corner—using single-step moves or moves that jump over other pieces. The remaining players continue the game to establish second-, third-, fourth-, fifth-, and last-place finishers. The game was invented in Germany in 1892 as a variation of the older American game Halma. The Stern (German for star) refers to the board's star shape.

The name "Chinese checkers" originated in the United States as a marketing scheme by Bill and Jack Pressman in 1928. The game is neither a variation of checkers, nor did it originate in China or any part of Asia.
