Halma

Halma is an open-source board game for Android that combines the traditional Halma game with the simplified Sternhalma variant, also known as Chinese Checkers. The objective is to move your pieces across the board and reach the opposing side before the other players do. It is intended for people who enjoy turn-based strategy, puzzle-solving, and classic board games. The rules and strategic possibilities make it suitable for both newcomers and experienced players.

The app includes the traditional 16x16 Halma board as well as the Sternhalma board layout. Players can choose to play against AI opponents or play with other people. Games support between one and six players, with local and online multiplayer available. Different approaches are possible, including working toward the centerline or moving inward from the sides, so players can develop their own methods.

Halma provides a clean interface, tablet mode, high-quality graphics, and smooth animations. It is free to play, has no purchases, and keeps all content unlocked. As open-source software, its source code is available through the project’s public development repository, while the game itself is designed for use on Android devices. Its board-game category makes it a fit for casual play, family games, and focused strategy sessions.

MirrorNest mirrors the official Halma build directly on its own storage rather than redirecting users to another download location. The mirrored file is scanned for malware before publication. This gives Android users a catalog-based way to obtain the open-source board game while preserving its stated license and platform information.
