Playing with marbles
At the National Marbles Tournament in Wildwood, N.J., correspondent Bill Geist finds out that for some kids, a fabled rite of passage - knocking out your opponent's marbles - is alive and well.

This was the hottest game back in my days and the winner gets to keep the loser's marbles. I had to buy new ones every week!

George Balikos That’s where the phrase “for all the marbles” came from. I’m not even an adult yet, and I have fallen in love with this game! I just wish I had friends that played it... 😄

As a scoutmaster attending many summer camps, I found a huge advantage to keeping my homesick boys entertained was to simply go to the boys table and leave a bag or two of marbles and go away. within a hour one boy would come to the adult table and ask how to play. I always told them to make their own rules but suggested a rope to make a circle with clear of sticks and leaves. the big marbles were the shooters. armed only with that information they were quiet and smiling actual conversations took place. Adults were not to interfere or enter their area; they had a hierarchy of leadership to work out problems. They game was played many times by all between merit badge classes and our troop scheduled activities.
The teachers banned marbles in my school. I love the fact people are enjoying marbles!

In my neighborhood kids were showing up with big steel marbles taken from their family's broken motorcycles and were winning all the time.
So wholesome! I'm 48, and just got struck with "marble fever". Been collecting vintage slags and swirls. Going to teach my daughter how to play.
That looks wonderfuil. Had no idea people still played marbles much less like this.

In mexico, we played differently. We would hit eatch others marbles, and who ever is the last standing wins. Sometimes we even did small tournaments like this, where we play keeps, and who ever is last standing wins the game, and keeps the marbles of who ever they hit.
I love to play marbles and I got a full bucket of marbles

Makes me sad that kids are lost to fun games like marbles. They play video games from toddler-hood. They are in strollers playing with their parent's phones. And once exposed, they can't go back to simpler things. But good on these kids for mastering a game where you are an active participant - not just a passive dolt.
I played back in the day in the sand at the edge of the parking lot... we drew a circle... We called the big ones Bombies
Nostalgia! :')
I remember playing marbles as a kid in the mid 80s.
I love marbles I use to play in El Salvador as a child 🇸🇻
this was our thang back in school until it got banned ahah
In my home country this is played very differently and we called it pitching. For one, any amount of persons could have played once they had enough marbles when a number was called to contribute to the ring.

“at first i thought it was just for nerds then i realized it was definitely just for nerds”
Seriously, who plays marbles anymore? We use to play them in early 90"s as kids. Then Playstation came out in 1995 and never looked back. Please parents, get them some Playstaion. Or at least some kids console, like the Nintendo Switch or whatever the latest console is.
