Peg Solitaire (A Classic Solitaire Game for Kindle) $0.99
Book Description
Jump pegs and clear the board in the classic game of Peg Solitaire.
The objective of the game is to fully clear the board by jumping pegs over each other, removing "jumped" pegs, until only one peg is left. To complete a perfect board you must land the last peg in a specific highlighted square. On most boards only horizontal and vertical moves are allowed; however, on triangular boards pegs may jump horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
Peg Solitaire comes with 40 different boards. The difficulty level ranges from Easy to Expert, with more difficult boards being larger and filled with more pegs. The title also tracks how well you've done with each board, allowing you to return to those you haven't cleared perfectly.
