2. THE GAME

========

Pegged is a mind boggling game dating back to the nineteenth century.

The objective of the game is to jump all the pegs until only one peg

remains. Peg can be removed by jumping over it with another peg. You

can only jump one at a time horizontally or vertically.

The game is over when no legal jumps are available. If there is only

one peg left, you win.

To provide more challenge, try to end the last peg in the center of

the board.

The Classic board is based on the English version, and the Modern

board is based on the French version.

3. TO PLAY

=======

To select a new puzzle, choose Menu and select the puzzle you want to

solve.

This version of Pegged has a special "Solvable Random" puzzle. When this

is selected, a new random puzzle will be created for you to solve. This

will provide you with endless puzzle. All Random mode level are solvable.

To select a peg, tap on the peg and then the empty slot you want to move

the peg to. If you want to select another peg, just tap on the new peg.
