About Pool Checkers, from BoardGameGeek:

A member of the Checkers Family also known as "American Pool Checkers" Very popular in the south of the United States, particularly with the African American community, this game differs from Checkers due to its "flying kings" and men capturing backwards (while still moving only forward). The most similar game in the family is Brazilian Checkers from which Pool Checkers differs only in the capture rule (maximum number of captures is not compulsory).
