Eight takes six

The girls were playing a game today. They used the checker/chess board. They were using both checker and chess pieces. They would put a pice on the board and say something like "eight takes six." They would then move some pieces around and then it was the next person's turn. "One takes three, --nine, eight, seven--ten takes two--three strikes one. After a couple rounds Luci would put her hand on her head and shake it like Grace just executed a stellar move against her. But then she would make a "seven takes three" move and give a little clenched fist "oh yeah." This went on for about 5-10 minutes. It appeared to be a close score. I couldn't say for sure as I haven't been schooled on the rules of the game. Then they moved on to another game (by cleaning up the first without being told--awsome). I had a phone call so I didn't get to see who won.
