Your objective
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Step by step
- 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.
