We suggest that the game is slightly more interesting if unused triangles are left empty so that pegs can hop through and come to rest in them, if desired. Many rules state that any unused triangles must be left populated with their unused pegs so that they cannot be used during the game. In a three player game the pegs will start in three triangles equidistant from each other.Įach player chooses a colour and the 10 pegs of that colour are placed in the appropriately coloured triangle. If there are four players, play starts in two pairs of opposing triangles and a two player game should also be played from opposing triangles.
