How strange - the comments seem to be about a different game! There are mentions of marbles, and it being "colorful..." I see a scrabble board! Huh, I wonder how that happened? Anyway, this was the hardest puzzle I ever did. I'd like to see the game with colorful marbles!
Played this years ago. Not sure I can remember exactly how to play it. Since computers have come in, it seems people are seldom buying board games. I still have a few friends that don't have computers.
I still have a game set somewhere. You start with all your marbles (10) in one point of the star. You start by moving one marble onto the middle. Then you use all the marbles to jump across the board. The object is to get your marbles into the opposite point before your opponents. I was lousy at checkers, but this was fun!
I think you rolled dice and moved along the holes for each number rolled- can't remember much more, but we loved to play with Mom and Dad, especially when we beat them!
