Ah, Halma as we call it in Germany. Sadly it's not too popular (being played) but still popular enough to be included in every basic collection.

    Back in the 70s/80s in the US everyone seemed to have a board but nobody seemed to play it.

    @Towwebbed @Strider Ah, memories! We used to play this very frequently in my family when growing up… back in the 70s/80s. I just realized that I haven’t played it in years, and we don’t even have a board anymore. It was fun!
