I have a marble game idea.
- Set any agreed-upon terrain as the playing pitch.
- Draw an outer circle. (The bigger the circle, the harder the game becomes.)
- Draw a triangle inside the circle. (The bigger the triangle, the easier it is to shoot repeatedly.)
- Place an equal number of target marbles from each player or team inside the triangle.
- Decide any way you want who starts the first turn.
- The first shot must be taken from outside the outer circle. The player's hands do not need to touch the ground, and any shooting technique is legal.
- If the shooter marble lands inside the inner triangle, the player must shoot again, taking the next shot from the border of the triangle.
- If the shooter marble lands inside the circle (but outside the triangle), the turn ends and the next player continues.
- If the shooter marble goes completely out of bounds, that player loses their next two turns.
- If another player strikes your shooter marble, the exact same positional rules and penalties apply to your marble's new location.
- Any target marbles a player knocks completely out of the outer circle are theirs to keep as points.
- The player or team with the most marbles at the end wins the game.
- You can play casually without having to surrender your marbles, but you can play "keepsies" too.
What do you guys think of this game?
