I've seen a game "Wolf and Goats" played on standard checkerboard.

Goats are white and set up like standard checkers. Black is one wolf set up on any black field on the opposite edge.

Wolf moves diagonally back and forth and takes pieces by jumping over them (at will?) like in checkers (also back and forth) and wins when he passes the goats so he has clear way to their starting edge. Goats can just move forward like in checkers but they can't take wolf piece and win if they surround wolf so that he doesn't have any move left.

There are also few similar games played of different boards: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_games
