You can "hit" one of your opponent's chips by moving your piece onto the same point as his. This only applies for one checker. Multiple chips cannot be hit. A single checker once hit is removed and placed on the raised centre part of the board known as the bar. To retrieve the checker, your opponent must reintroduce it into your home area and start moving around the board again. As the aim of the game is to clear the board of all your chips in the fastest way possible, you will need to hit as many of your opponent's chips as you can.
