Answer: CHINESECHECKERS

Chinese checkers, or 跳棋 (tiào qí) in Chinese, is a board game that originated in Germany in the late 19th century. It is played on a star-shaped board with holes, and the objective is to be the first player to move all of their colored marbles from one side of the board to the opposite side. Players take turns moving one of their marbles at a time, either by moving it to an adjacent empty space or by making a series of jumps over other marbles. The game requires strategy and planning to effectively move and block opponents' marbles. It can be played by two, three, four, or six players.
