If you’ve ever eaten at a Cracker Barrel, you’ve probably found yourself absent-mindedly playing the little peg game that’s on every table. The triangular board has 15 holes in it, and the goal is to hop pegs over each other and into one of the holes until just one peg remains.

Object of the Game The first objective is to release and play into position certain cards to build up each foundation, in sequence and in suit, from the ace through the king. The ultimate objective is to build the whole pack onto the foundations, and if that can be done, the Solitaire game is won.

The king of hearts is sometimes called the “suicide king” because he appears to be sticking his sword into his head. This is a result of centuries of bad copying by English card makers where the king’s axe head has disappeared.
