Diamond game ({{langx|ja|ダイヤモンドゲーム}}) is a variant of Chinese checkers played in South Korea and Japan. It uses the same jump rule as in Chinese checkers. The aim of the game is to enter all one's pieces into the star corner on the opposite side of the board, before opponents do the same.  Each player has ten or fifteen pieces.  Ten-piece diamond uses a smaller gameboard than Chinese checkers, with 73 spaces. Fifteen-piece diamond uses the same board as in Chinese checkers, with 121 spaces. To play diamond, each player selects one color and places their 10 or 15 pieces on a triangle. Two or three players can compete.<ref>{{in lang|ko}}

Usually, there are one "king piece" ({{lang|ja|王駒}}) and 14 common pieces ({{lang|ja|子駒}}) on each side.  The king piece is the piece at the apex of each area and can jump over the common pieces, but the common pieces cannot jump over the king piece.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Chinese Checkers ／ ダイヤモンドゲーム|url=http://www.nakajim.net/index.php?Chinese%20Checkers%20%EF%BC%8F%20%E3%83%80%E3%82%A4%E3%83%A4%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%83%89%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0|access-date=2021-06-09|website=The Museum of Abstract Strategy Games - アブストラクトゲーム博物館|language=ja}}</ref>
