- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About Pegged ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Pegged is a game of logic with origins dating back to the nineteenth century.
- No one knows for sure who invented the game, but several sources attribute its
- creation to a prisoner in the Bastille. The game was very popular throughout
- Europe in the 1800s, where it was known as "Peg Solitaire" because it was
- played by moving pegs in a wooden board.
-
- Pegged is played by jumping a peg across any adjacent peg and placing it in an
- open space on the other side. Only horizontal and vertical jumps are allowed. A
- peg that has been "jumped" is automatically removed from the board.
-
- The object of the game is to jump all the pegs until only one peg remains.
-
- It is most challenging to end the game with the last peg in the center of the
- board, but you win as long as only one peg remains anywhere on the board.

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Playing the game ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The object of Pegged is to finish the game with only one peg remaining on the
- board which is a plus-shaped grid. At the beginning of each game, there is a
- configuration of pegs in the playing area. Choose a Board type from the Options
- menu (Cross, Plus, Fireplace, Up Arrow, Pyramid, Diamond, or Solitaire). Each
- board presents a different, challenging peg configuration.
-
- Choose New from the Game menu to start a new game, or press Ctrl+N. To jump a
- peg point to the peg you want to jump with and drag that peg over another peg
- with the right mouse button (mouse button 2). The "jumped" peg disappears. You
- must jump horizontally or vertically and you can jump only one peg at a time.
- The game is over when no legal jumps are available. If there is only one peg
- remaining, you win.
-
- The puzzles get progressively more difficult and each provides insights on how
- to solve the last and hardest, Solitaire. So try to solve the simplest puzzle,
- the Cross, first. Then try to solve the other puzzles on the Options menu in
- descending order.
