Description

Pegs and Jokers is a classic game of luck and simple strategy that's been entertaining families since 1975. With its easy-to-learn rules, this game is perfect for a quick 30-minute play session with 2 to 8 players. The goal is to move your colored pegs around the board by playing different cards, with each card determining how many spaces you can move. For example, playing a five lets you move your peg five spaces, while an ace only moves you one space ahead - but watch out, because an eight will send you backwards. The game takes a thrilling turn with the introduction of the joker, which can send your opponent's peg all the way back to the start. With its unique blend of hand management, point-to-point movement, and roll-and-move mechanics, Pegs and Jokers requires a combination of luck and strategic thinking to win. The first player to move all of their pegs to their home space wins the game, making it a fun and exciting race to the finish. Whether you're a fan of abstract strategy or just looking for a fun and easy-to-learn game, Pegs and Jokers is a great choice for a family game night or casual gathering with friends.
