Information about “PEG SOLITAIRE”
PEG SOLITAIRE is played on a playing board shaped in the form of a plus
sign. The board has 33 holes with 32 pegs. (The center hole of the
board is left empty.) The object is to remove all but one of the pegs
from the board jumping one peg at a time.
COLOR PEG is a second game. This board has 24 pegs divided into
different colored groups of 6 pegs each. The object of this game is to
jump pegs until all peg groups have exchanged positions. You win when
the top and bottom peg groups have swapped places and the right and left
peg groups have done the same.
Both of these games are simple to operate, but difficult to master. Use
the keyboard or mouse to move around.

PEG RULES
(Game #1)
Peg Solitaire is played on a playing board shaped in the form of
a plus sign, consisting of 33 holes of which 32 are filled with
pegs. The center hole of the board is left empty. The object
is to remove all the pegs from the board except one. This is
done by jumping one peg at a time. Once you've jumped a peg,
you must remove the peg you have just jumped. Play continues in
this manner until you are left with one peg or you can no longer
make any valid jumps.
VALID JUMPS FOR PEG
You may only jump pegs in either a horizontal or vertical
direction being sure to only jump over one peg at a time.
COLOR PEG RULES
(Game #2)
The Color Peg board is similar to the Peg Board. It contains
only 24 pegs but has the 9 center holes empty. These 24 pegs
are divided into 4 groups of 6 pegs each. Each group of pegs
are colored differently. The top group of pegs are blue, the
right side is green, the bottom is purple and the left side is
red. The object in this game is to jump pegs until you have
swapped peg groups. You have won the game when the top and
bottom peg groups have exchanged positions, and the right and
left peg groups have exchanged positions.
VALID JUMPS FOR COLOR PEG
(Hard Mode)
When pegs are jumped, they are left on the board. They are not
removed as in game #1. You may jump in either a horizontal,
vertical or diagonal direction so long as only one peg is jumped
at a time. Jumps are valid so long as they stay within the
confines of the playing board. IE: You may not jump across an
inside corner that would take your line of travel outside the
game board.
VALID JUMPS FOR COLOR PEG
(Easy Mode)
Valid jumps for the Easy Mode of play is identical to the Hard
Mode except you will be allow to jump outside the bounds of the
playing board. This applies to the immediate inside corners
only.
