Madagaskar checkers is a board game for one player. It is played on a board with 33 cells layed out as a cross. Initially 32 stones are placed in all cells except for the central one. You can move a stone into an empty cell over another stone, which is then deleted (diagonal moves are not permitted). The goal is to finish with one stone in the central cell. There are different strategies in this game, all based on smaller combinations of stones that can be reduced to one stone.
