A marble is a small toy made of glass, clay, steel or agate. Like you know, the balls vary in size. There are really small ones (1/30 inch, 0.111 cm) and really big ones (over 3 inches, 7.75 cm). The average size of a marble is about 1/2 inch to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.6 cm). We can't really name the sizes, because the names of these marbles also differ per country, region or even school. Next to playing with them, people often collect marbles because of their aesthetic colors. Because we prefer playing before collecting, we will discuss some fun marble playing games! (Maybe you don't know them, marbles games are different all over the world)
Normal game
Try to get all the marbles in the pit. If you miss, your oppontent may try. If you succeed in bumping your marble in the pitt, you're allowed to take one more turn. The one who bumps the last marble into the pit, can have them all.
Pointing game
Draw several cirkels on the ground like in the image next to this text. The lines are 10 cm from each other. The bull's eye count for 50 points, and the other rings for 40, 30, 20 and 10 points. The players aim with a pre-arranged amount of marbles or till an agreed number of points is reached. The ones who wins gets all the marbles.
Bombing game
If you own this game you probably make more enemies than friends while playing it. Each player puts an amount of their mables in a cirkel. With turns, each player will hold one marble an arm length above the marbles in the cirkel and drops it. The marbles bumped out the cirkel are now the belongings of the ' bomber'. The bomber also gets his 'bom' back. The game ends when all the marbles are bumped out the cirkel.
Remember: it's not about the marbles, but all about the games!
