I had an order for a Pegs and Jokers game so I made 2 while I was at it. One set is red oak and the other set is hickory. This varied from my original set so I had to make new steel drill templates for these. The boards are joined with brass pegs and bushings for durability. The game pegs are made from copper plated weld studs with beads epoxied on the top. I added storage for the pegs on the top of each game board and made a drill fixture for that op.. They can be hooked with 4 or 6 boards as shown.. I have more process shots below. I made a holding fixture for cutting off the pegs to length and an holding fixture for drilling all the beads so the heads fit snug in them ans the hoes were too sloppy for the beg body. Game boxes are next.

Made the game interesting. Never played it so I looked it up. Your boards made me do it. Haha Nice boards and like the procedure to make the holes. Well done.
Thanks, Dave. I had a made a wooden template in the Az shop for the game I made there. But I changed the pattern a bit for these new boards and will use it for any future ones. I made this template on the mill so the spacing is right on.
Cheers, Jim

Thanks Scrappie. It is a fun game. I'll attach the rules below. We play up to 6 players and use 3 decks of cards.

We have a slight change to our rules. A 9 can move 9 spaces forward or split with some moving forward and some moving backward. and a Jack moves 11 spaces, a queen moves 12 spaces and a king moves 13 spaces.
