I double browsed, got most of my pieces kinged, then set them in a row that was jumpable, and the tokens soared! 8)
I won 540 on one account, and the 270 on mine, great if you are double browsing! Good Luck! O0

UPCOMING CHALLENGES

Checkers: Win 6,000 tokens this week!

+5 Tokens for any single jumps
+20 for double jump
+25 Tokens for kinged piece
+55 for capturing kinged piece

The best way to get alot of points, as you can see from the tokens chart, is to capture kinged pieces. So, you and a friend, can go over to checkers, get a private table. No need to play with forfeit timer, unless you are worried your friend might fall asleep lol.
Then, move your checkers pieces across the board, and try NOT to capture any pieces if ya can, and try to get all the pieces you have kinged. As you move across the board, make room on your side of the board, for your buddies pieces to get through and get kinged. If you have at least one kinged piece, you can move it back and forth between 2 spots, to give your buddy a chance to get some pieces kinged. You may need to sacrifice a few pieces to open a space up for pieces to get kinged. You start with 12 pieces, but capturing just 10 kinged pieces is 550 tokens:)

I played a game today, with my buddy  and she captured all my pieces, which were all kinged, and won the game for 760 total tokens. She only had one kinged piece left on the board, and I got 540 tokens, without jp spin:). So if ya take your time, and set yourselves up to capture as many kinged pieces as you can, without having to sacrifice but a few regular pieces, you can obtain alot of tokens, without playing a massive amount of games to reach 6000. gl
