Trapdoor Checkers is way awesomer than regular Checkers

Want to buy it? http://www.vat19.com/dvds/trapdoor-checkers-board-game.cfm?adid=youtube

A comedian once quipped that telling someone you're good at Checkers is akin to saying you're not good at a lot of things. But regardless of whether or not you like Checkers, you're sure to love Trapdoor Checkers - a fun remix of the classic board game with an added element of chance along with super-cool trapdoors.

The Trapdoor Checkers board (like a traditional Checkers board) is an 8x8 grid, but with the added twist of eight trapdoors that can be opened and closed by a series of sliders. At the beginning of each turn, players spin their "Randomizer" which determines if they can move a piece or activate one of the four rows of trapdoors.

Designed for ages 7+. One spare checker of each color is included.

Do you guys make this or advertise it?

[vat19com]

@Tanis350 We're not the manufacturer. We are a retailer, so we advertise and sell all the items we carry on our website.

Demetri Martin Joke FTW :D Did I done good curiously awesome Vat19.com people, did I?

[vat19com]

@Heath0494 Sort of. The lever for each set of 2 trapdoors has three positions: left, center, and right. You can move the selector one position per turn. So, going from center to left will open the furthest trapdoor. On the next move, you can only move from left to center which will close that trapdoor. On the next move, you could then open either trapdoor. Basically, once you open a trapdoor, you have to use one turn to close it.

ok so when u spin the wheel if it lands on black you move a black piece but what about the white when do u get to move it.??!!

[vat19com]

@MegaTHEDOGLOVER There is a spinner for each player. If it ever lands on black, you move your piece. If it lands on a color, you work with that color of trap door.

You should give credit to Dimitri Martin for stealing his joke about checkers.

[chipschap]

How about Trapdoor Chess?

[TogetherWeRant]

but you will have to lift the board to get the piece that fell ?

[rcollado2009]

What happens if a piece falls in?Does it stay in?

@sonicfan8152002 I'm not from vat19 (clearly), but it seems like the rules would transfer over to chess just fine. Just put your own chess pieces on the board.

[sonicfan8152002]

do u have this in chess?

@meepmop6 It's the truth...
