Using the eight parts shown above place the base part first then attach the connectors making sure the the connectors of the same length face across from each other. Then place the board part on top of the connectors. This finishes the completion of the Peg solitaire game, you can either glue the board together or leave as is for a travel game set. Pieces may be created by cutting Dowel rods.
