Understand the aim
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Keyboard and screen 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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Work through an 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.
