The goal is clear, the path is full of sticks that need to be removed: strategic thinking and patience are required if only one of the 32 sticks on the board at the beginning is to be left standing at the end. Solitaire - also known as Einsiedlerspiel, Steckhalma, Solohalma or Jumper - is the classic game for a single player, but here and there it can be helpful if a second (or third and fourth) clever person provides help and advice.

In any case, this version of the game doesn't mind if several people think along and try out moves: The playing field and sticks are made of solid beech wood, so the game is definitely more solid than many a thread of patience. In addition to the classic English starting set-up of 32 sticks with the free field in the middle, there are various other set-up variants that can achieve different results. Even if you have found the solution to the standard set-up (and could recite it in your sleep), there are countless other game options open to you, which you can use to train your little grey cells. Incidentally, the philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was also enthusiastic about solitaire and even invented his own way of playing, in which he made the holes "jump" rather than the sticks. If you too have finally caught solitaire fever, this handy, robust version, which stores the sticks in an integrated, lockable compartment, will patiently accompany you wherever you go.
