Help With A Marble Game Please

[orbboy]

Any ideas of what this game is? Came with a small bag of marbles but the 12 peewee micas seemed to fit the best? Any info would be great. Thanks.

My first thought was "German Roulette", but then no, the numbers didn't seem quite right for that. Or not the version I remember.

Is it a whirl it game missing the (spinning)top?

[orbboy]

Could be missing something? The lady who was selling it knew nothing about it. Even numbers are blue holes and odd are red if that helps?

[Steph]

Here's a coupla examples in the "whirl" line. One with fewer numbers. One with numbers which look worn and/or handwritten.

Looks like you nailed it Steph. Light weight wood marbles make more sense than glass Micas if your going to be wacking them around.

I know, I know!!!!!

I just bought one very similar to yours.

You take one marble and spin it way out on the interior edge (like they do when the roulette ball goes round and round on the outside part of the wheel before dropping into a slot).

If you are lucky, the marble will get caught in a numbered hole and you get that amount of points. You "spin" an other marble with your hand and try to get more points. Keep going until all marblrs are spun. The next player takes their turn.

The player with the most points wins!
