In checkers, a king can capture multiple pieces in a single turn by jumping over them, but it can only do so if there are consecutive jumps available. Once a king captures an opponent's piece, it can continue to jump and capture additional pieces if they are positioned correctly. However, a king cannot eat "double" in the sense of capturing two pieces in a single jump; each jump must involve a separate piece. The only limit is that a player must make all possible captures during their turn.

Either a king or an ordinary playing piece may jump a king in a game of checkers in the United States of America. But the rules are different in Italy. Specifically, in an Italian game of checkers, only a king is allowed to jump a king.
