I was told once (and I have no real way to challenge) that as games appear to look more simple, the complexity multiplies. For example, Chess is tough for all the reasons laid out above, but Go has 2 pieces, hardly any rules, and is harder.
Looks like Draughts is similar in that it has misleading simplicity.
