A circle 3-10ft (1-3m) in diameter drawn in dirt or chalk, depending on player count.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Arrange a set number of marbles in a cross or cluster pattern in the center of the circle.

2

Players take turns flicking their shooter marble from outside the circle to knock target marbles out.

3

Any marble knocked outside the circle is kept by the shooter.

4

If your shooter also leaves the circle, your turn ends and it's set aside.

5

The player with the most marbles when the circle is cleared wins.
