Take a closer look while playing
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. Refer to the controls when needed.
Aim for this result
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
One way to understand the rules
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A mistake to avoid
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.
