Cotton Bag of Glass Marbles, by Moulin Roty

A cotton bag of glass marbles by Moulin Roty - a timeless game that has been played by children for generations, and a perfect plastic free gift idea.

This Moulin Roty marbles set contains 50 marbles and 5 larger 'shooters', all inside a beautiful cotton bag, with a handy label for name and class.

Playing marbles helps children develop gamesmanship, gross and fine motor skills, maths and geometry, and trade and negotiation skills.

** CAUTION SMALL PARTS **

Rules of the game:

1. Age recommendation 3Y+ due to small parts - WARNING: IF PLACED IN MOUTHS CAN BE A CHOKING HAZARD

2. You will need to lay out a circle of string on a hard surface - use chalk to draw a circle. The circle should be anywhere from 1-3 m in diameter

3. Scatter your small marbles into the circle randomly

4. Flip a coin to decide who will shoot first (with a larger 'shooter' marble)

5. Each player's first shot will be shot from outside the string circle

6. If you knock a marble out of the ring, you set it aside, and count it as one point

7. Play will progress as previously decided

8. After a shot, do not remove the "shooter" from the ring.

9. On your next turn shoot from the last place where your "shooter" landed inside the ring.

10. If your shooter landed outside of the ring, you should take your next shot from any point outside of the ring.

11. You may knock another player's "shooter" out of the ring, giving them the disadvantage of having to shoot from outside the ring.

12. At the end of the game, when all the marbles are out of the ring, the person with the most marbles wins.

• 50 standard glass marbles

•  5 larger glass 'shooter' marbles
