Usually found at Cracker Barrel, and some other restaurants. Often says if you leave one you are a genius, 2 smart, 3 dumb, etc. The Cracker Barrel Peg Game. This thread is archived. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. You must jump each peg over another peg, but only if there is an open space. Each peg you jump over must be removed.

3 4 5
6 7 8 9
A B C D E
