How to play the peg game

The board starts full except for one empty hole, the top one unless you choose another. A peg can jump over a neighbouring peg into the empty hole directly behind it, in any straight line on the board. The peg it jumps over is taken off.

Tap a peg to pick it up; the holes it can jump into glow. Tap one to jump. Tap the peg again to put it down. Undo takes back the last jump, even after the game ends.

When no jump is left, the pegs still on the board are your score. One peg is a perfect game. On the 33-hole English cross board, pegs jump only across and up or down, and the true solution ends with one peg in the centre.

How to play the triangle peg game online

The triangle peg game is a 15-hole board in five rows with fourteen pegs and one empty hole: the peg game you find on wooden boards in diners and on restaurant tables. You jump one peg over another into an empty hole and take the jumped peg off, until no jump is left. Here the pegs are alchemy gems and every jump is checked for you.

How do I leave only one peg?

Keep the pegs together and work from the edges in. A peg stuck in a corner can never be jumped over, so empty the corners while their neighbours are still there to jump over. With the top hole empty, one full solution starts 4 over 2 into 1, then 6 over 5 into 4, then 1 over 3 into 6.

How is it scored?

The pegs left at the end are your score: one is Genius, two Pretty smart, three Average, four or more Keep practicing. Your games and fewest pegs left for each board stay in this browser.
