I still have my marbles,

[yortsed snacilbuper]

used to play on the Bobtown School playground!

Winning in Marbles

The player with the most marbles at the end of the game is the winner.

Other options/rules:

If a player knocks the other player's shooter from the circle, then the shooter wins all the player's marbles they have won so far and that player is out of the game.

You can choose to play where the shooter marble is removed from the circle at the end of each turn.

Marble terminology

Taw - shooter marble. It's usually a heavier marble than the ones in the center so it can knock them out of the circle.
Mibs or Kimmies - the marbles in the center of the circle.
Friendlies - games where the marbles are returned to the original owner at the end.
Bombing - when marbles are dropped onto other marbles rather than shot.
Lagging - shooting or rolling the marble to a line to determine who gets to go first.
Mibster - marble player

2. I see you've got catseyes, aggies, clearies, milkies and calicos but no steelies.

Of course, SOME players say steelies are cheating.

But not me.

3. Which one was your "taw"?

We used to put marbles in a square (called a fattie) and played by the same rules except your taw had to stay outside the "fattie".
