Halma is here! It's in "testing" mode, which means that right now, all Halma games are unrated. In about a week we'll take it out of testing mode and games can be rated or unrated as normal.
If you run into any problems, please don't hesitate to drop us a note via the Contact Us link, or post a note to this thread (or this forum).
We've also done some other things in this update; see this thread for details.
Enjoy your (Halma) games! -- T.J. Crowder First Primate Pocket-Monkey.com

Anyone want to play a Vulcan a game of halma or checkers? Just invite me to a game. I am "spock" here.
It sounds like you're running into the rule where if you have any of our pieces in your opponent's camp at the 50th turn, you lose the game. (If you both do, it's a draw.) Check out the rules/instructions page for Halma (this link is also on the game page).
Yes T.J. I wasn't aware of that rule until i said something to someone on a game and they told me. Good to know before the games become rated. LOL Nice Job on the halma game. Love it

TJ were i have seen the 50 move rule on other sites they deem it as 50 moves each ie player 1 and player 2 moving is regarded as one move on here player 1 moves it is the first move player 2 moves it is regarded as the second move
I have to agree. The game ends right in the middle if one person or both do not have there pieces out of home within 50 moves (25 per person) Quite to soon. Ive never had a halma game end so soon like this one at least every game. I have finished about 10 and not one have we got to get past the half way point.
