Now play the game played by the European nobles in the court of Louis XIV back in 17th century on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It was a highly fashionable and popular board game among the European nobles back in the 17th century and was popular throughout Europe in the 18th and 19th century. Believe to be invented by a French aristocrat in the 17th century, when incarcerated in the Bastille, explaining the game's ancient name “Solo Noble”.
According to the game brochure (Milton Bradley Co., 1986), whoever succeeds in leaving the last peg in the center is a genius. Anyone who leaves a single peg elsewhere is an outstanding player. So why wait, test your self today to see if you are a genius or an outstanding player.
The game is traditional played in two different boards namely “English board” and “European / French Board”. With English board having 32 pegs and French Board having 36 pegs.
The objective of the game is, making valid moves, to empty the entire board except for a solitary peg. A valid move is to jump over adjacent (vertically or horizontally) pegs. The peg that has been jumped over is removed. So jumps are like captures in Checkers.
Features:
- Available in both the two traditional boards (English board, French board)
- Ability to reset/restart game
- Polished and professional graphics and sounds
- A classical song as background music to match the game theme.
- Smooth game play and movements

Nicely Done

Graphics are fairly simple yet pleasing to the eye and animations are smooth. As this is my first Peg app, I'm not sure how others play but I did find the "dragging" of the chosen peg to it's next location to be a pain in the neck. If the peg isn't directly over an open hole it jumps back to it's previous location. Even with my average sized fingers it proved frustrating. A far better option would be to select the peg and then tap where you want it to be placed. Overall a nicely done app that with the refinement I mentioned above and some alternative theming options becomes a 5 star game!
Needs improvement

Game rest button does not work. There should be an update or a fix for it.
