The goal to keep in mind
Leave a single peg on the English cross board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Making your moves
- 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.

An example before you play
