	Large Solitaire - wooden board with marbles Start with the centre position emply and marbles on all other positions on the board. The object of the Solitaire puzzle is to remove the marbles one after the other by jumping horizontally or vertically over another marble. In the end one marble should be left in the centre hole.  Just having one marble left is a challenge but it's extra difficult to have one left in the middle. It is said that the French Mathematician Pelisson invented Peg Solitaire to entertain the French King Louis XIV.  Others claim a French nobleman devised the game using a Fox & Geese Board while imprisoned in the Bastille.  In Creative Puzzles of the World written by Pieter van Delft & Jack Botermans in 1978 they say that that the game was well-known by the time the an engraving of the French Princess de Soubise dated 1697 appeared showing her playing Solitaire.  Click here to see a picture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peg_Solitaire_1687_on_Portrait_of_Princess_Soubise_by_Claude-Auguste_Berey.jpg Size: Diameter of the board is 375mm
