Watch “This game is in the "Checkers" family, but you risk "Collateral" damage in the pursuit of victory.,” a how-to-play guide on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by NewVenture Games on YouTube:

Designed by Niko Lepka, Collateral Checkers https://newventuregames.com/products/collateral-checkers is an exciting new variant for fans of checkers, draughts, and dama. It looks quite familiar. A checkerboard pattern, sets of light and dark discs, moving space-by-space and capturing by short leaps. Even the objective has a very familiar ring to it: eliminate your opponent or trap them so they can't move. But that's where the unique features of Collateral Checkers comes into play. "Move and jump in any direction at any time" adds lots of new possibilities. But "jump and capture your own pieces" is what really shines about this game. Sacrifice is a powerful tactic.

About Collateral Checkers, from BoardGameGeek:

An abstract strategy game similar in ways to the classic game of Checkers but with one important difference: you can capture your own pieces. Described by some as "a knife fight in a phone-booth" due to the size of the board, this game rewards carefully setting up the board in such a way that you trap your opponent into making undesirable moves. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to get ahead? -description from the designer
