Peg Solitaire

Introduction

Peg Solitaire (also known as Solo Noble or Brainvita) is a classic single player board game the objective of which is to clear all the pegs or marbles except one from the board.  Pegs are removed when they are jumped by another peg into an empty space.  The fewer the pegs remaining at the end of the game, the higher the score.

Setup

Select one of the following traditional boards from the settings menu:

• English (default)

• French (European)

• Diamond

• Square

• Triangle

• Star

Select one of the following pegs:

• Marbles

• Wooden Pegs

• Colored Pegs

Game Play

• In standard Peg Solitaire, the game begins with all holes filled with pegs except one.

• Pegs are moved by jumping over adjacent pegs into an empty space.  Simply touch the peg you wish to move then drag and drop it onto the empty space.

• Pegs that have been jumped will disappear from the board, leaving an empty hole behind.

• Pegs cannot be jumped diagonally.

• To get the highest score possible, you must end the game with only one peg left in the least amount of time.

• Game ends once no more moves can be made.
