Image provided by: ZachZach has released a new game called”Marble Solitaire”. It is a classic puzzle game played on a board with 33 squares. In the UK, it is simply known as Solitaire. It also goes by the name Peg Solitaire.

The object of this game is to clear the board with the last piece in the center as shown below. Marbles move by capturing horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. A capture is similar to checkers, where a marble jumps over another piece.

To play, position the cursor on top of the piece you want to move. To jump, hold down the button and push the joystick in the desired direction. You can also reset the board to start over and select one of 8 puzzles.
