In the 1960:s we played another game with “marbles” on the schoolyards in Vanersborg Sweden.
On guy sat on the ground and spread his leg out. He put 4 marbles to a “Pirre”,three in the bottom and one up on the others. Each player stand behind a line 6-10 feet away and shot tre marbles each or until someone hit the “Pirre” and brooke it. If someone hit he got the marbles but if no one hit the guy on the ground got all marbles between his leg.
The very interesting is that this game was invented by soldiers in the dragoonregiment who had its trainingground i Vanersborg 1560-1927 around 1600 played with round bullets
