The name of a simple yet classic PublicDomain? boardgame, or the pieces for use in that game. Many people are familiar with checkers so I won't go into details here. I recently experienced a personal revival of this game and a few of its variants (such as Anti-Checkers, aka Lose Checkers) on ItsYourTurn.
