Fantastic Checkers is a great version of this traditional board game. It has beautiful graphics, nice background music and a nicely tuned AI with multiple levels of play for fun at any level. There is also a two player mode so you can play against a friend. If you are a fan of checkers (draughts) you will love this game.

OpenFeint is integrated for achievements and online multiplayer. Play up to 8 games at once with quick match or against friends.

You can also play multiplayer head-to-head games using Bump! Just bump your devices together and play. Requires Internet connection (3G, EDGE, WIFI). Each player can use the theme they want.

The game starts on an 8x8 board with 12 pieces on each side. These pieces may only initially move and capture diagonally forwards. Only when a piece is "crowned" or "kinged" may it move both backwards or forwards. The opponents pieces are captured by jumping over them. A player wins by capturing all of the opposing players pieces, or by leaving the opposing player with no legal moves.

Christmas theme allows you to play with yummy Christmas cookies!

Pros and cons of Fantastic Checkers app for iPhone and iPad

Fantastic Checkers app good for

Fun, the computer isnt overpowered, and music is nice, graphics look great, the only problem I gave is that sometimes it is difficult to pull of multiple jumps. But this rarely happens. 
Needs gamecenter if you can put openfient you can put it in. I would add another star if it was there
Great to play when no one else wants to play me checkers, I can just play this on my ipod touch
If you love checkers, then this game is ideal. Love the way the game plays and the graphics are great!
Well checkers is going to be checkers! So if you dont like checkers then dont buy! But it is alot of fun so give it a try!
Challenging but not too hard. Crashes a lot. Very fun for a free game.

Some bad moments

The touch screen does not work properly. Dont waste your time and money
Works ok but sometimes wont allow you to move some of the pieces.
2 player online does not work. After creating a match, it said that it was my go but I wasnt able to leave the multiplayer lobby. Also; why am i moving the checker pieces on the white squares. It is confusing. PLEASE FIX THE BUGS. This game has potential. It looks better than all the rest but doesnt work good at all.
