Marble Game
A friend asked to use my CNC router to put the pockets and wording on a board he had glued together. He didn't show me how to play the game, but he said it worked out so that they could play it.

Re: Marble Game
Nice job.
I think that's a form of Chinese Checkers. We use to play back when dinosaurs were young....

Re: Marble Game
That game would be called "Aggravation". A similar game in Texas is "Wahoo" and generally is cut from a square for four players. In addition there is a marble location in the middle for a "shortcut" play. Same game north of us would be called "Pegs and Jokers".

Re: Marble Game
I grew up with a version called "Mensch Ärger DIch Nicht" - "Man, don't get mad". And yes, it is common to lose one's temper while playing it, especially with 6 competitive players.

Re: Marble Game
I'll be searching Google for instructions for these games that you fellows have mentioned. I might have to make my own marble game. However, I'm not so sure about the "Mensch Ärger DIch Nicht" - "Man, don't get mad" version. Very interesting!! Thanks for all your replies.

Re: Marble Game
This game is Carbles. It has more holes than aggravation. It is big in MN. I make lots of them.

Re: Marble Game
'Our' (Dutch) version is called 'Mens, erger je niet', so very close to the German version. As far as I know there are 4- and 6 -player versions. The far, far, far origin would be the Indian Pachisi. Naming seems different all over the world, rules almost universal.

Re: Marble Game
Too funny! Working on some of these right now, two sided for four player and six player. My German mom (from eastern SD) calls it Sh** on Your Neighbor. Don't drink alcohol while playing or the board may get broken...
