Your goal
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
