the hoop.
If you manage to flick your marble through the hoop in one
go you may then play on towards the next hoop. You can
continue to play with the same marble, or you can introduce
another marble of your colour from the start flag into the game.
If you miss the hoop, you must leave your marble where it
has landed and wait until it is your turn to play again before
continuing.
If your marble touches another marble after passing through
a hoop, both marbles remain in the new position and you may
go again. If your marble hits one of your opponent‘s marbles
before passing through a hoop, both marbles also remain in
their new positions – but because you missed the hoop, it is
now your opponent‘s turn.
The player whose marbles pass through all the hoops and are
first to touch the finish flag is the winner.
Game variants
Naturally, the hoops can be approached from both directions.
Once you have played the course in one direction, you can
then play back through it again in the opposite direction. The
first player to touch the start flag with his or her marbles is the
winner.
Have lots of fun playing Outdoor Marbles!
