About
The old wooden-board puzzle in your pocket. Pick up a peg with 5, then press a direction to jump it over a neighbour into an empty hole, removing the peg you jumped. Play the classic 33-hole cross, a smaller diamond, or a 15-hole triangle where diagonal jumps along the slope are allowed. Press 0 to undo as far back as you like. Fewer pegs left is better; a single peg in the centre of the cross is the master finish.
Objective: Leave as few pegs on the board as possible, ideally just one.
Modes: Cross, Diamond, Triangle
