Checkers for Kids
Checkers for Kids, sorti le 20 août 2021 sur Nintendo Switch et Xbox One, propose une adaptation du jeu de dames à destination du jeune public. Classé dans les genres stratégie, réflexion et jeu de société, le titre permet de personnaliser ses pions et l'aire de jeu, d'évoluer avec un poisson rouge virtuel comme compagnon, et d'affronter une intelligence artificielle ou de modifier les règles selon différents modes de dames. TheXboxHub a souligné que le jeu « n'est pas pour tout le monde » et a relevé un manque de tutoriels pour les débutants, tandis qu'un joueur sur Metacritic a simplement indiqué qu'il s'agit d'un titre ciblant le marché des enfants et édité par Prison Games sur Xbox.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Checkers For Kids isn’t for everyone, and there’s a chance it suits no-one. With a lack of tutorials for new starters, and a lack of difficulty settings to test experienced hands, it’s focused so narrowly that you wonder if there’s anyone who will stay with it for thirty minutes. If you’re willing to do the heavy-lifting, teaching your child how to play and layering on the entertainment yourself, then Checkers For Kids might do a job. For most children, though, it will feel like a chore. »
