About Halma!
Try out this new twist on an antique board game that you've never played before! It's Halma!
Halma is a cool board game of strategy and fun. Invented in 1883 or 1884 by George Howard Monks, an American thoracic surgeon at Harvard Medical School, the game precedes Chinese Checkers and has a strong resemblance - but the difference is quite interesting!

I downloaded this on my tablet to see of it would work,and it works great on my tablet and my Moto G. The graphics are slightly simplistic and the rules underwhelming, however the game is gripping and you soon forget these things! Great work for a first try!

I like the game but I can't seem to defeat AI. I think this game would be much better with an adjustable AI. I don't believe this AI represents the way most humans would play. Unless, of course, the other human has been playing for about 20 years and won several Halma championships. Game has now frozen on human player's turn (5.1 Lollypop). Will uninstall.

Its good! The only peculiarity, I noticed was, that between like the first or second portion of the move and the last few, there is a lag. Other than that, its great!

Easy to learn, difficult to master. A lot of fun for anyone who likes Go or Checkers, recommended!

Game has issues: during a game it can return to the menu screen(+ end game). Also, board size is too small for Halma- should be at least 10x10 squares.
