If you're going to play checkers all the time, at least play on a less buggy and updated one!
Background: Thousands of years ago in Egypt, two kings would compete in a game called checkers, instead of using plastic discs they used real people on a gigantic checkered battlefield over a pit of spikes. The first one to claim the oasis in the middle becomes the champion.
Fast forward to the present time the souls of the Egyptians demanded a final round of checkers, so they summoned 9 of the best warriors in the world to their dimension to compete in checkers for the very last time...
