nice graphics but makes illegal moves

I was happy to find a chinese checkers game for my iPAQ. The graphics are nice, but unfortunately, the computer players make illegal moves, jumping where it is not possible, which sort of ruins the game. Unless that only happens in the demo version.

Great game, worth the money

A great game to play with other folks!

Most every one knows how to play chinese checkers so while waiting with other folks, you can pass the time with this game. For example, I hate just sitting and staring at the walls while I wait for a plane but when I am with other people, it is impolite to stick my nose in my Pocket PC to play my own private game. So, this works great! I can ask others to join in and I am not stuck looking at the walls!
