Wild West Checkers – Same Game, Different Theme

Wild West Checkers is a slingshot-style checkers game where players attempt to shoot their opponents checkers off the board without losing any of their own. The second such iPhone app I’ve come across with the same principle, and coincidentally the same seller, Wild West Checkers is similar to iChapaev , but sports a wild west cowboy and Indian theme and a price tag of 2 dollars higher. Like iChapaev, Wild West Checkers uses the touch screen interface and displays the trajectory angle and strength of your shot. By aiming your checker at an opponent piece, the goal is to knock the opposing piece off the board without shooting your own piece off screen and maintain control of the board. If your piece also shoots off the board, your turn is over. If you can run the board and advance your line of checkers to the top row, you win. When reviewing iChapaev, I learned that this form of checkers was supposedly fashioned after a Russian board game. If so, Wild West Checkers gives the game quite the western touch indeed with the whole cowboys versus Indians theme.
