Description

Marbles - “ A typical game of marbles for children is a simple circle drawn in the dirt or with chalk. A few marbles from every player are placed in the centre of the circle. Using larger marbles, called shooters, each player attempts to knock a marble out of the circle. Whatever marbles are knocked out are kept by the player who knocked it out. Whoever ends up with the most marbles at the end wins.
