How to play
Tap a peg, then the empty hole two steps away in a straight line: the jumped peg is removed. You win when a single peg is left, anywhere. Every position can be solved; undo and restart are available.
Tips to get better
- Don't strand a peg in a corner: with no neighbour to jump it and no hole to land in, it will never leave.
- Keep the pegs together: a compact group clears jump after jump, scattered pegs get stuck.
- Before jumping, look where the peg lands: it should be able to jump again, or be jumped in turn.
- Stuck? Undo a few jumps rather than starting over.
What this game trains
- Planning and strategy: think several moves ahead and organise your actions.
- Visuospatial perception: picture shapes, positions and paths.
