heppnerguy Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 We have a foster girl living with us right now and her and I went out to lunch together while my wife was at physical therapy where, sitting on our table was a little triangular puzzle. It had holes with pegs in them and only one hole (of your choice ) is left open. It is played kind of like checkers where you jump over a peg into the open hole and remove the peg that you just jumped. I think most of you probably remember this puzzle. The idea is to try and end up with only one peg remaining on the board. You have to jump to the open hole immediately on the other side of the opposing peg. Anyway, our foster girl really enjoyed it, so when we got home I made her one. I used dowels for the pegs but the one in the restaurant used golf tees. keefie, Phantom Scroller and amazingkevin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
