Page "Chinese checkers" Paragraph 18

In a two-player game, each player plays one, two, or three sets of pieces.

If one set is played, the pieces usually go into the opponent's starting corner, and the number of pieces per side is often increased to 15 ( instead of the usual 10 ).

If two sets are played, the pieces can either go into the opponent's starting corners, or one of the players ' two sets can go into an opposite empty corner.

If three sets are played, the pieces usually go into the opponent's starting corners.
