Isn't there a limited subset of solutions for this and beyond that it's mechanical and repetitive? So it's not that interesting? I think an interesting variant

I think an interesting variant would be varying the shape of the board, so all the sudden it's not a one trick poney.
Additionally, maybe add special pegs that could jump over two, combos that give a power up that let you slide an entire row or column by one etc.
disclaimer: I make games.

Growing up we had one in the same cross configuration we see here. My grandfather made it from wood with a router, stained and sealed it. It was on a circular piece of wood with a groove running around it that the jumped marbles could be put in.

- compiler-guy 4y agoThere is a limited subset of solutions, but that doesn’t make it uninteresting to the casual person waiting for their server at cracker barrel or relaxing at some summer camp. This is a classic game made by wood shop students. It’s nice to have a clean electronic implementation.
- jjulius 4y agoThis. I've only ever played this at Cracker Barrel, but it's doing my mind loads of good to just veg out and try to figure this out at home. I definitely had the thought that, yeah, once you figure out what the solution(s) are, the magic's gone, but I definitely don't play this enough for it to be ruined, and it's gonna take me forever to get there; I keep getting stuck with three left! Edit: Two! Finally! lol
