Draughts, also known as Checkers, Vaniuan Draughts, Vaniuan Checkers, or Byonam, is a very popular kind of board game found mainly in Vaniua, which involves two players moving a set of uniform cylindrical game pieces and capturing by jumping over opponent pieces. Draughts developed from an ancient Ohanian board game called Qakakun.
The most popular forms are Vucuna, Kaseh, and Cheno, all played on an 9×9 checkerboard. There are many other variants played on 9×9 boards.
