Marbles

Pull back and let go to flick your marble into the gold one. Hit it first and it is yours; touch another first, or nothing, and it costs a life. Three grounds, each with one more marble.

Marbles is the playground game, seen from above. Marbles lie scattered on a patch of earth and one glows gold; aim, choose how hard, and flick yours into it.

How to play Marbles

• Pull back to aim and choose your power, then let go to flick.
• If your marble touches the gold one first, it is yours: you shoot again from wherever yours stopped, and the next one glows.
• Touch another marble first, or nothing at all, and it costs a life — and the ground is put back so you can try the shot again.
• Clear a ground for a bonus; the next one is laid with one more marble. Three grounds, or three lives, whichever goes first.

Scoring

• A hit on the gold marble scores, and a clean one that disturbs nothing else is worth a point more.
• Clearing a ground adds a bonus.

Tips

• Use the walls to bank a shot when there is no clear line.
• A softer shot leaves your marble closer to the next target.

Play it with friends

• On your own, against the characters — each plays the game by its own rules the moment it starts, so there is always somebody to beat.
• With friends, each on their own phone or laptop: one of you shows a code, the others type it in, and everybody gets exactly the same game on the same Go.
• Taking turns on one device — pass it round, and each turn is scored against the turns before.
