A very nice peg-board game, now re-issued. The plastic board has 100 holes, numbered in a oft
reversing spiral with 1 in the center. A deck of numbered cards from 1-100 is shuffled and players start
with 4 each. You may either play a card and stick a peg in, or draw a card, the hand limit being 4. And of
course, you're trying to get five of your pegs in a row to win. Simple, except that playing a card
allows you to place a peg in that number, or any empty number above. So with a 60, I can fill a space from
60 to 100, the outside rows effectively, but with a 6, I can play practically anywhere, especially the key
points in the center area. The game is for 2-3 players, but works even better when played in partnership,
your partner frustrated as you fill high numbers with low cards, you frustrated as your partner fails to
block. Very good fun and nice for non-gamers.
