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.
