So many people in the comments don't know the difference between 36 marble French boards like this one, and the 32 marble English/brainvita board layout. You can only start with the middle open on the 32 marble layout, not this one, so this is correct.
Our version is titled “Solitaire de Venezia” and says in the directions you must start with the marble missing in the middle. It comes with 38 marbles (37 spots, 36 used at one time with 1 missing to start). We can get it down to 2 but can never get it to 1 and every time we look online it shows either the person starting with an empty spot randomly and not in the middle, or it’s shaped like a cross with less spots. Any way to complete the more difficult version leaving center marble empty??
You must start with the centre empty and finish with one in the centre
it's not possible to finish if you start at the centre with a European board. Only can be done on the English board.
that’s what I thought too, but you know how everyone kinda has their own house rules. lol

I've been trying this game all day with 3/4 marbles left over. Could not figure it out. Then I watched this. Mind blown. 👍🏾
It's wrong, you must start with empty centre and finish with the ball in it.
No, it is not wrong.
Not with the European board. It's different. This is correct. 💯%
Great job Jay! You went nice & slow & described what you did beautifully! Thank you!
but played it wrong from the start. you must start with the middle empty
Great 👍 You made it so simple, so easy to understand… thanks
Omg!! Thank youuuu 🤗

You’re supposed to land in the middle
I grew up in Morro Bay!
Thank you very much mister jay
Wow!
It helped..thankyou 🎉
The only problem with that is you are supposed to end up with the last ball in the centre of the board !!! Please try again
thanks
There is another marble solitare called Bonvita. The configuration is that of a Swiss flag. Is this the same game?
The last marble should be un the middle
I swear you had to start in the middle what
Depends on the version haha
you're right. middle must be empty to start.
On classic 33 you start in the middle on 37 European you can start anywhere on the board apart the 4 corners in
Nope! You’re supposed to start with the center hole empty and end your last marble in that center hole but great job!
Btw this is a European peg solitaire with 33 marbles
