If you jump over another players peg, an open, unoccupied space must be on the other side for you to fill. They can either be moved into an empty hole that is directly adjacent to the hole that it is currently occupying or, once yours and your opponents’ pegs are out on the board you have the option to jump over them. Allow the youngest person in the group to start first by moving a single peg from their home triangle onto the board, then the rest of the players follow suit. The main goal of Chinese checkers is to move all ten of your colored pegs from your home triangle across the board, filling up the triangle that is directly across from you. In the event you are playing with two players, Chinese checkers rules require that you use the points that are exactly opposite of each other on the game board. If you have decided to play with three players, you will want to use triangles that are equal distances from each other. Have each person take their ten pegs (or marbles) and fill each of the holes in the home triangle that they have selected to use.
