Introduction

Apart from Penny White this one has the fewest rules and yet is the most difficult penny game to play well.

You have to kill your opponent's Sovereign by knocking it off the board with the bullet (or blue).

It is a game of great touch and patience and should not be attempted until both Penny Black and Penny Red have been mastered.


" My friend and I were evenly matched at Penny Black but when he taught me how to play the Blue he always seemed to be able to put the bullet where I couldn't do anything with it. It was so frustrating."

"Every time I came off the board he'd say the same thing.' Penny Blue. Be patient. True.' It really, really annoyed me."

All the animations on this site were made for PCs. Apologies. Unfortunately, I have lost all my .fla files so can't copy and adapt them for small screens. I will have to make more from scratch.
