Pegs and Jokers

Keith and Sheral come over occasionally and bring their game "Pegs and Jokers". A friend of theirs made this set for them and the woodwork is beautiful. It's a game that can be set up for 4-12 players, which is pretty clever. It's played similar to Aggravation in that you start your 5 markers in one spot and need to get them to home. Different cards let you move your makers in a variety of ways. It's pretty fun, but don't sit by Bill or Keith as they will ALWAYS send your markers back home.

Sheral is counting the spaces, as she is just about to move her last marker home.Bill and Thelma also have a game similar to "Pegs and Jokers". Since they don't have a name for it I call it the "BFG" - Bill's Frustrating Game. I call it that because once again the other players are trying to send their opponents back home.
