Chinese Checkers

chinese jigsaw puzzle checkers Chinese Checkers from PuzzlesUSA.

Despite being called “Chinese Checkers”, this game does not originate from China or any part of Asia. Chinese Checkers is also not a variation of checkers. The game itself was invented in Germany in 1893 under the name “Stern-Halma”, as a variation on the older American game of Halma. The name “Chinese checkers” originated in the United States, when an American tried to make the game sound more exotic.
