The object of Fumbly Pegs is to get one of the colored pegs in the middle of the group each round so that at the end of all rounds you will have the most points. This is accomplished by obtaining a set of 4 or 6 matching colored cards (depending on the size of the group either one or two decks will be used) as they travel around the circle in a clockwise movement. Each deck contains 10 sets of 4 matching colored cards, one wild card, and one black card.
The center of the table contains one less peg than the number of players. Once anyone in the circle has a set they can grab a peg – after that it’s a free-for-all to get one of the colored pegs before they’re gone whether you have a set or not. Each peg is worth a different point value and one player will be left empty-handed each round, so you’ve gotta be fast to get one! Each player earns points depending on the color of the peg they grabbed. The player without a peg earns no points. Players who have unused wild cards or black cards in their hand at the end of the round lose points. At the end of all rounds the score pad will be full and whichever player has the most points is victorious!
