What the game asks you to do

Leave a single peg on the English cross board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Start with a deliberate move.

From the start of a round

  1. Select a peg and an empty hole two squares away.
  2. Jump horizontally or vertically over one peg, removing it.
  3. Plan so remaining pegs can still interact.
  4. Undo repairs a deadlock.

Making selections and moves

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Put the rules into context

Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Verify the rule before continuing.

Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
