Checkers Games for Girls

The game of Checkers is known to be one of the oldest games in the world and has evolved in many ways over the centuries, according to the Checkers History website, checkershistory.com. The game can be traced to 3000 B.C. in southern Mesopotamia—now Iraq—to ancient Egypt around 1400 B.C. and to 1100 A.D. in France until becoming the game we know today in the early 1500s. Now several variations of the commonly known game are available including a few different checkers games for girls.
