I’m not sure if Adventure Park characters are easier opponents but I’ve never had this much difficulty with checkers. It’s not that I don’t enjoy playing with a host who’s entire strategy can be summed up as a war of attrition (moving a crowned piece back and forth between two spaces in the bottom corner), but I don’t have the patience of a computer. In player matches I’ve found pieces will often become completely intangible and I once lost with my opponent still needing to take two more of my pieces (even according to the sides). Did anyone else have this problem?
I lost to A host because we ran out of spots to go to, but THEY won even though it was my turn and i still had a spot to play?
If any of my friends need help with this challenge, I’m willing to play checkers. ;)
Quite honestly, this is not fun. I was in a game with a host for a half hour that essentially had become a draw. The only reason I lost is I got tired of wasting time that I could be doing other things and quit as my time on line is limited. ♪♫LadyBeauty♪♫
sophie gave me a real challenge. i have 2 accounts and think i’ll play myself and be REALLY bad player on one :) maybe you have a good friend that you can trade off wins with? GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
GREAT IDEA!!! I have a 2nd account I barely use and that is a great idea… This game is SO. VERY. HARD. I hate it! XD
If you have more than one account just play against yourself. You let one player ‘time out’ 8 times and that is one account done. Now do the same for the other account and you are done. It takes 45 seconds to time out…so really to complete the challenge on 2 accounts doesn’t take to long at all. Hope that helps.
Thanks, it works like a dream. Checkers is not my favorite game and this really saved time!!
I REALLY do NOT like Checkers in the Tournament Arena!!!! I don’t have the time to sit and play game after losing game with Hosts that kick my buns! I’ve won ONE game!!! ONE!!! This is NOT FUN! :-(
I played the same game of Checkers for 30 minutes before I got so annoyed I quit. I don’t how I’m going to win 8 games, it takes way too long.
I wasn’t kidding when I said that even the hosts beat me. I am terrible at checkers. I have played at least 10 games of checkers today and have lost every game. If I get this trophy, it will be nothing short of a miracle. This is so sad. LOL! ♪♫LadyBeauty♪♫
It could just be me, but I feel like these Checkers Tournament games are SOOOO Much harder than ever before. I’ve played 10 games and won one! I hope it isn’t this difficult. Good luck everyone.
They are definitely more difficult than before and not fair. A host should not be allowed to just move a king back and forth between the same two spaces for over a half hour! Glad I’m not the only one.
I usually play against Amanda Panda, PJ Collie, or Ms Birdy. I usually win
