Pegs and Jokers is a North American race game for four, six or eight players, using playing-cards to move pegs around a board. It is also sometimes known as Jokers and Pegs. Some board designs use marbles instead of pegs as the playing pieces in which case it may be called Marbles and Jokers or Jokers and Marbles. Pegs and Jokers is clearly derived ultimately from the Indian race game Pachisi , a race game using dice for movement, probably via its American derivative Sorry!
My in-laws have a board game called Joker. The strategy is to keep track of the number of spaces between marbles and desired locations and try to keep as many options open based on probabilities of cards being drawn. My wife's brother-in-law, Greg Gonsalves , made a board for me.
In Pegs and Jokers , players race their pegs around the track by drawing cards. The first player to get their five pegs home wins the game. You can also play with teams. The game is similar to Parcheesi and Sorry , which were derived from the ancient Indian game of Pachisi.
