Description

PEGS consists of a two sided gameboard which is wired so that when a yellow peg is inserted in a hole on one side of the board and a long rubber peg is inserted into the same hole from the opposite side, a chime will sound.

The board is a 6X6 grid marked off into quadrants of 9 holes each. Rules for 15 different games are included from a Battleship variant to Tic-Tac-Toe.

Sid Sackson designed 7 of the 15 games - they are:
  • Battle of the Blobs
  • Border Patrol
  • Football
  • Rapid Transit
  • Soccer
  • Space Attack
  • Tank Blitz

In Games (March/April 1979) added Sid Sackson two games for P.E.G.S.: Spy Network
a Connections.
