Players move their pegs around as they draw cards..
This game is a game of luck and simple strategy. It starts by linking the gameboard sections together and then each player selects their colored pegs. Then it's a race around the board as the players take turns moving their pegs clockwise around the board-pieces (paddles) by playing different playing cards. The first player or team to get their five (5) pegs from the starting point to their home area wins the game.
Even though your peg(s) might be almost all the way around the board, your opponent can still play a joker card and send you all the way back to your start section. Win the game by moving all five of your pegs to your home section first.

A little history..
The North American version of the Pegs and Jokers game evolved out of another game from centuries ago. Pachisi is known as the National Game of India, and involves four players that play as partners (two against two) on a board that is shaped like a cross. Each player races their pieces from the center, then around the board and back again. When a player lands on their opponents piece, it sends them back to the start.
It's incredible to think that a board game contrived so long ago can still be enjoyed today by anyone. It's so simple and lightweight, and can be carried anywhere.
