Why Use a Clear Acrylic Triangle Peg Solitaire Template?
Clear acrylic makes it easier to position the template on your wood before drilling. You can see the grain, colour variation, knots, glue lines, and board edges underneath the template, which helps you place the hole layout exactly where you want it.
The acrylic template is reusable, rigid, and easier to work with than a disposable paper layout. It is a practical option if you want to make more than one triangle peg solitaire board or create a consistent product to sell at local markets.
We recommend using Template Tape to securely attach the acrylic template to your wood while drilling.

How to Play Triangle Peg Solitaire
Triangle peg solitaire is a simple single-player puzzle game. The goal is to jump pegs over one another and remove the jumped pegs until only one peg remains on the board.
- The objective is to finish the puzzle with one peg left on the board.
- Every move must jump one peg over a neighbouring peg.
- There must be an empty space for the jumping peg to land in.
- Jumps can be made along the diagonal or horizontal lines.
- A peg that is jumped is removed from the board, similar to checkers.
