Set up the ring
Mark a circle on a level surface and cluster the target marbles near its center. Each player chooses one larger shooter marble and begins outside the line.
Take turns shooting
Knuckle down behind the boundary and flick the shooter toward the targets. Under common casual rules, the next player shoots after the marbles stop moving.
Score the round
Count a target when it fully crosses the outside edge of the ring. Remove scored marbles from play. The player with the most targets when the ring is empty wins.
Our online challenge rules
The PlayMarbles challenge places seven targets inside the ring and gives you six chances. Knock every target outside while keeping the orange shooter out of the ring. If the shooter stops inside before the ring is clear, the run ends. Clear the ring with the shooter outside to continue into the next round and keep building your total.
Control the next position
Do not only aim at the nearest target. Look for a path that clears one marble while returning the shooter safely outside the ring for another clean attempt.
