I used to play 50-60 years ago a marble game that involved 9 holes dug in soft earth, usually with a can, then the soil between the holes was packed down smooth. You would ante marbles into the center hole, and then take turns tossing your marble. If you scored the center pot, and no one else did following you, you took home all those marbles. If your marble fell into corner holes, you had to add that to the center pot and if you hit the other holes you took a marble from the center pot. Has anyone played this? What is the size of the holes, distance between, and the distance from which you toss? Please email me at aimw [at] stjohncable [dot] com if you know. Thanks
