    or:

    48 Triangles with one side Red and the other side Green  plus

    8 Red/Black and 8 Green/Black Triangles

The Triangles can be placed over 3 adjacent Pegs of the Game-Board

     For a faster 2-Player-game the Game-Board may be reduced by NOT USING the

     21 outer Pegs at the edge of the Board

    The Pegs are as high as 3 piled up Play-triangles (next picture in profile)
