This is a mind game, a puzzle, a brain teaser, invented in the 17th Century.
According to the legend, Solitaire was invented by a French aristocrat in the 17th Century, when incarcerated in the Bastille, explaining the game's less common name Solo Noble, but no evidence was ever found to support this story. The first evidence of the game can be traced back to the court of Louis XIV, and the specific date of 1697. Several works of art from that time show peg solitaire boards, demonstrating that the game was highly fashionable.
The standard game fills the entire board with pegs except for the central hole. The objective is, making valid moves, to empty the entire board except for a solitary peg in the central hole.
It appears simple, but it is not. You will put your brain to test!
This game is known simply as Solitaire in the United Kingdom.

Not bad
One of the nicer interfaces of this type of game. I found peg movements to be a little too slow for my liking. It's a nice visual effect, I guess. But the gimmick isn't really worth the slow down of gameplay.
There are a ton of these peg solitaire games out there. This one is kind of light, with only two boards to choose from. The interface and graphics are what set this title apart. If you like what you see, give it a try. The pegs are a bit sluggish, but otherwise, it's a nicely done rendition.
