Product Description

To play, fill game console holes except for one with pegs. Jump over a peg, landing in an unfilled hole, to remove a peg from the board. (You may not jump diagonally.) Keep jumping and removing until no more jumps can be made. Now count up the remaining pegs and see how you scored (e.g., 5 pegs left Not Bad, 3 pegs left Excellent, or 1 blue peg left in the center hole Perfect Hi-Q Genius.). There are 4 game variations, 2 that feature the blue peg! Instructions in English and Spanish. Includes plastic 5x5 game console, 32 red pegs, 1 blue peg. For 1 player.

5.0 out of 5 stars I spent many an hour enjoying Hi-Q, August 16, 2000

This game is listed as being for those 10 and up, but I recall playing and enjoing this game earlier than that. This game certainly isn't the same kind of fun as a video game...and shouldn't be compared to that kind of activity. Hi-Q is more of a thinking game...

You jump one peg into an open spot and remove the peg you jumped. How few pegs can you end up with at the end of the round? It's a personal challenge to get down to one peg, and then to one peg in the spot of your choice.

I highly recommend this game for the thoughtful youngster or the adult with a few minutes to kill. One great thing about Hi-Q is that you can play a round in five minutes or less.

Top-notch product with timeless appeal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value and Educational to Boot!, July 19, 2000

This is the same game that I remember as a child but improved with a cover that snaps closed for storage of the pieces. Durability is only four stars because of the number of pegs. There are no extra pegs, so beware. If you conquer the original game, there are a few variations listed on the inside box cover to keep you entertained. My two children ages 6 and 8 love to play this game while watching TV. Great educational value.

Warning--there are small parts which pose a choking hazard for small children and babies.

Would be a great game for any elementary school classroom.

Too bad there is not an electronic version because the part I hate the most is setting up the board to start a new game.
