Classic

Classic is the main game. Three rings spin against each other, holes open and close, and everyone flicks at once. Most points when the clock runs out wins.

First games and mixed ages

Rules

1. Flick your marble from your corner onto the plate. A harder flick travels further.
2. Outer ring holes are worth 1 point. One gold outer hole is worth 3.
3. Middle ring holes are worth 2 points.
4. The centre hole is always open and worth 5, but ridges on the rings guard the way in.
5. Holes open and close, so a marble resting on a closed lid drops in when it opens.
6. Marbles stay on the plate once they are on it, so you can knock a resting marble into a hole with your next one.
7. The last 15 seconds score double.

Tips

• Aim for a hole that is about to arrive rather than where it is now: the rings carry your marble round.
• A gentle flick that stops on the middle ring often scores more than a hard one that bounces off a ridge.
• Save your Heavy marble for clearing a rival off the centre.
