HOW TO PLAY:
The board has a six-pointed star. Each point of the star is a triangle

(two holes to each side). The middle of the playing board is a
hexagon. Each side of the hexagon has 3 holes. There are three
sets of pegs. Each set has three pegs of a specific colour. When a
player takes a turn, they may move one pegs. The pegs can be
moved to an adjacent open space or may jump over other pegs that
are right next to the pegs.
BOARD SETUP:
The game can be played by up to six players. Each player chooses
a colour and then places the three pegs of that colour into the
triangle of the same colour:
•
Two players - Each player moves to the opposite triangle on the
board. For a longer game, then each player can play two or three
sets of pegs.
•
Three players - Each player moves to the opposite triangle on
the board. For a longer game, each player can play two sets of
pegs.
