English 33-hole cross; central starting gap; any final single peg wins.
Practice with a purpose
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
The purpose of your moves
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A closer look at one example
Peg–peg–empty in one line permits one jump. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Diagonal jumps and pulling are not allowed. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
