Peg Solitaire

Classic peg solitaire game with five different board layouts. This is very laid-back version of the game. No score, no timer, no hurry, no sounds... Enjoy some relaxing puzzle solving.

How to play

The goal of the game is to remove as many pegs (or marbles) as possible, ideally leaving only one on the board.

Game Play

1. Jumping Pegs: A peg makes a valid move by jumping horizontally or vertically over an adjacent peg into an empty hole directly on the other side. Diagonal moves are not allowed.

2. Removing Pegs: Once a peg has successfully jumped over another peg, the peg that was jumped over is removed from the board.

3. Continuing Play: You may continue to make successive jumps with the same peg or with different pegs, as long as a valid move is available.

Ending the Game

The game ends when no further jumps can be made. The fewer pegs remaining on the board at the end of the game, the better. The perfect end game is to have only one peg remaining, ideally in the center hole where the game began.

Tips for Strategy

Plan your moves ahead. Try to anticipate where openings will be created that will allow you to make additional jumps. Work towards creating clusters of pegs that can jump over each other, rather than spreading pegs out too thinly across the board. It often helps to work from the outside in, keeping your options open for more jumps.

PS. Once again I resisted the urge to name this game "Pegging".
