Review a difficult moment
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. 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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
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. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
