MARBLE SHOOT (Also called Torpedo)
Object: To capture the most marbles.
Set Up: One taw line* marked out.
Ante: One to begin with, but a pocketful to stay in the game.
Rules: Player #1 set the target
by shooting a marble from the taw line.
Player #2
then tries to hit the target by also shooting from the taw
line.
If player #2 hits marble #1, he puts both marbles from the
play in his
pile. Player #2 then starts the process over again by
setting
another target for the nest player. If a player misses a
target, the
nest player then has one more choice of targets and he
aims and
shoots and the game proceeds with a player getting to shoot
until he has
a miss. The player with the most captured marbles at the
end of an
agreed upon number of rounds wins the game.
TAW LINE*
The marked line from which players shoot or bowl their marbles. The distance from the taw line to the targets varies with the games.
