Watch “How To Play Grasshopper! - It's about getting from here to there.,” a how-to-play guide for Grasshopper from NewVenture Games on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

A little over 200 years ago, this little game began to catch on in the U.K. It was not a new concept, historically, but an extremely convenient adaptation of game pieces that nearly everyone - or at least every English pub - would have. It's a predecessor of games like Halma and Chinese Checkers, and can still be found today under a host of different names. It's a simple but challenging game of "getting from here to there" that can be enjoyed by all ages in just 10 to 15 minutes. A fun strategic board game for all.

About Grasshopper, from BoardGameGeek:

The game if similar to Halma or Stern-Halma (AKA Chinese Checkers) but is played strictly by two players with a standard draughts set. Each player starts with pieces at a corner of the board, and the object is to move all one's pieces to thee other player's starting position before the oponent does the same. No captures are made but pieces can jump as in draughts. How this fundamentally differs from similar games is the rectangular, rather than triangular, grid of the board and/or being a strictly two player game. Its history is described in this file on BGG.
