Legend says that Solitaire was invented to entertain Louis XIV, "The Sun King" who ruled from 1643 to 1715. A French engraving dating from 1697 shows Princess de Soubise playing the game of solitaire. This humble game of strategy has challenged and stumped mathematicians, royalty, and the run of the mill game-players for centuries. It's no wonder that Solitaire has captivated so many throughout the years. One could spend an entire morning, afternoon and evening trying to win at this game.

Beautiful and fancy wooden version of the classic solitaire game and a great brain teaser puzzle.
Begin with a single central peg vacancy. By jumping one peg over another and removing the peg which was jumped over, try to eliminate all the pegs until just 1 remains in the centre.
The board comes with a matching lid.

Rules Of Solitaire

Very easy game for anyone to play.
The wooden board is laid out with a ball in every hole except the central one. The player must take all balls off the board one at a time, except the last one, which should be left in the central hole, if you can. A move is affected by one ball jumping over an adjacent one into a vacant hole beyond. Any direction is permitted except diagonally. The ball jumped over is then removed from the board. A player must pay attention not to leave a ball too far from the others because of the difficulty which may be found in reaching and removing it.
Very addictive, you will just keep on playing until you win.
