In colonial times, checkers, also known as draughts, was played on a board similar to the modern version, typically an 8x8 square grid. The pieces were often made from materials like wood, bone, or clay, and were commonly round or slightly flattened discs. Players would use simple designs and colors, usually contrasting shades for the two sides, such as light and dark wood. The game was popular among colonists as a pastime, reflecting social interactions and leisure activities of the period.
