Peg Solitaire Game - Premium Travel Solitaire Portable Solitaire Set (0+ Years)

This is the travel version of classic Solitaire, made smaller and portable so it can be picked up and taken anywhere. The rules are identical to traditional Solitaire, so anyone who already knows the game will not need to relearn anything. It suits a gift for someone who travels, or a family that wants a second set for the car or garden, rather than replacing a full-size board at home.

No. The board and playing pieces are solid wood, with no plastic anywhere in the set. Jaques of London describes this as a signature attribute of its products, so it is consistent across their range rather than a one-off feature. That means no printed plastic pegs or lightweight moulded board, which is what most cheap travel versions use instead.

The suggested age range starts from around 6 to 7 years old. The rules are the same as traditional Solitaire, which is simple enough to teach a young child directly, and is described as a much loved adult classic that can be easily taught to the younger generation. It works well as a game that adults and children can play together rather than one aimed only at very young players.

It follows the same rules as traditional Solitaire, so pegs are jumped over one another and removed, with the aim of leaving as few pegs as possible on the board. Because it uses the classic rule set rather than a simplified travel version, anyone familiar with the original game can pick it up and play immediately. It suits solo play on the go, which is the point of the travel format.

It comes presented in Jaques of London's signature packaging, described as beautifully presented, which also makes it gift ready straight out of the box. The set is designed to be picked up and taken anywhere, so the packaging is part of what makes it a genuine travel game rather than a full-size board repurposed for travel. No separate box or bag needs to be bought.

Yes, it is described specifically as a portable set, perfect for play on the go, so it is intended for exactly this kind of use. Because it is solid wood rather than a loose plastic version, the board and pegs are more likely to hold together in a bag during travel. It is played solo, which also suits filling time on a journey without needing a second player.

It is described as a much loved adult classic that can be easily taught to the younger generation, so it works for both. The suggested age starts from 6 to 7, meaning children can join in fairly early, while the traditional rules keep it genuinely challenging for adults too. It is pitched as a way to draw children away from screens for some traditional fun and games.

This is the travel version, built to be portable and taken wherever you go, whereas a full-size board is intended to stay at home. Both use the same traditional Solitaire rules, so the way the game is played does not change. The difference is in size and portability rather than in the rules or the wooden construction, which stays consistent across Jaques sets.
