Overzicht
Peg Solitaire (Solo Noble) is a single-player puzzle game involving pegs on a board. By jumping pegs over each other, you remove them one by one, trying to leave just one peg - ideally in the center. It's a classic brain-teaser with surprising depth.
Geschiedenis
Peg Solitaire became popular in France in the late 17th century. Legend credits its invention to a French prisoner in the Bastille, though its true origins are unknown.
