JUMPO®Solitaire
A mind expander and travel companion from Elwood Turner.   Ages 12 +

Jump the red and blue pegs
over each other so that
they change places.

Simple . . . but difficult!  

Buy a JUMPO & get smart!

$9.95   

Switch the red pegs and blue pegs by STEPPING or JUMPING  over the other pegs...  
but you can't DOUBLE-JUMP
and you can't move BACKWARDS -
 so you're STUCK
and you have to start ALL OVER AGAIN!

Folk & Classic Toys Main Page

Rules of the Game:  Move red pegs toward blue side, blue toward red side.  Start with center two holes unoccupied.  Move pegs of either color forward into an adjacent unoccupied hole, or jump over pegs of either color.  Jump one peg at a time -- do not jump over two or more pegs that are next to each other (just like checkers -- no double jumping).  

You may make any permissible combination of moves and jumps with any peg.  It is not necessary to alternate in moving red and blue pegs.  Do not take pegs off board after jumping.  Do not move pegs backward!

If you get "stuck"    --  cannot make a permissible forward move with a peg of either color --  start over.  Do NOT try to retrace your moves.

What?!  Solved it already?  Didn't cheat, did you?  I don't suppose you could do it again?
Ok . . . Now try this: 
Jumpo II:
 Set up board with 5 red and blue pegs, with only ONE hole in the middle (instead of two).  This will leave one open hole at one end of the board.  Do not use this hole (you might put a piece of tape over it, or stuff some paper in it).  Same rules apply.  It's not really harder -- just a little different!
