Your goal
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
