FAQ

Q: How is Sternhalma (Chinese Checkers) different from Halma?

A: While Halma uses a 16x16 square grid, Sternhalma is played on a star-shaped board. The rules and movement style are similar—jumping and hopping pieces across the board—but the layout changes how you think and plan your moves.

Q: Can I play alone or do I need other players?

A: You can absolutely play solo. The app includes an AI opponent so you can practice or enjoy a quick game anytime. But if you’d rather challenge friends, you can play locally with up to six players and, in the future, even online once that feature is fully rolled out.

Q: Is this a good game for beginners?

A: Definitely. Halma’s basic rules are easy to grasp, yet there’s plenty of depth to keep experienced players hooked. It’s perfect for casual fun with family or for more strategic battles with friends.
