I come to you for help.
There once was a silly game with pegs in a triangle...a solitary game, one had to move the pegs in such a way as to only have one left.
Anyone remember this?
I want one.

(23,244 posts)you need fourteen pegs.
Hint: it's winnable with the middle hole of an outside row empty.
thank you...going to make one for myself.
I've never been able to win, so I'll take your hint.

(3,818 posts)had at least seven or more rows. You can make it as big as you want. I think more rows would make for a longer and more interesting game. When I made one I must have used 30-40 golf tees or more. I got a big bag of multi-colored tees. This would make a nice and easy gift to make for someone. Just get a nice piece of wood and drill some holes. Hmmm, I think this is something that would be fun to try making out of wood now instead of styrofoam. I think I will make one for my daughter -- thanks for giving me the idea!

(95,337 posts)It gave kids something to do while waiting for their food. I use to love playing that game. I think it was Shaeffers of Wormleyburg that did that but not 100% sure.
