One thing to notice as you play
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your objective
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
How to proceed
- Select a peg and an empty hole two squares away.
- Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
- Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.
- Undo repairs a deadlock.
Choosing and moving on screen
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
Pay attention to this rule
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
