How a round unfolds

  1. Select a peg and an empty hole two squares away.
  2. Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
  3. Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.
  4. Undo repairs a deadlock.

Making selections and moves

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.

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. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
