Practice with a purpose
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
Your inputs
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.
Put the rules into context
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
One detail worth checking
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
