- 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.
