• You may jump over your own or an opponent's peg, in any direction, to a hole on the opposite side of the peg you jumped.
  
  You may even jump a series of pegs on one turn, one after the other, zig-zagging in any direction. A peg that has been jumped is not removed from the board. All pegs remain in play.
