Crowe Checkers v2.0.0 brings physical American/English checkers to RedM/VORP servers with synchronized PvP matches and configurable NPC opponents.
Players sit at a complete in-world board, select physical checker pieces with the mouse, and move across highlighted playable squares while mandatory captures, multi-jumps, crowning, outcomes, and rematches are enforced by the server.
