The fact that this video was uploaded three days ago yet I have never needed to know or wanted to know how to play until right now simply horrifies me to my core
@@jobfairworldwide2586 right the old ways of entertainment took creativity. I also just wandered about marbles a couple of days ago but just now looked it up
My dad taught me how to play marbles back in the early 60s. he use to play when he was a boy in the early 40s. He still had a large marble collection he passed to me. One of the interesting rules was, the Player got to keep all of thee marbles, they knocked out of the circle. Good Players had the largest collection of marbles
Wow. Great tutorial. I used to play this game when I was a kid and I was just thinking of it and thinking that I did not remember the rules, and decided to search TH-cam for directions. And you explained them very well. I really appreciate it. Now to go and buy marbles and play it with my wife. Thanks a bunch. TH-cam is just great. Take care. 😊
Back in the early 60's I remember marbles, yo-yos and bikes consumed most of my summer time daily activities. Nowadays it seems to have been replaced with the cell phone.
True I'm a kid right now but I wanna learn marbles and play it at school I find old things interesting and my Nan has bought me yo-yo's and and all the stuff she played with as a kid and I am great ful to have a Nan like her im currently 14 Also edit: my Nan says I have an old soul like as if I was a kid from the 60's
@@belindabeers927if you like old games there are plenty to learn. These games are some of the best forms of entertainment in my opinion because unlike a video game, or even things like a book or a movie, socialization is mandatory. Here are some other games you can look at if you like old things: chess, checkers, mahjong, backgammon, go, dominos, rummy, canasta, durak, crazy eights, and spades. All of these are classic games and how to play is easy to find online. The last 5 are card games that you only need to have playing cards to play
I remember almost everyone in 5th grade having their own marble set and wagering their best marbles. We played kind of differently since we dug a hole in the ground and had to shoot our marble into the hole. When someone did, that was called having “the power” which allowed the player to attempt hitting the opposing player’s marble three times in order to win. Me and my friends only played casually since we didn’t want to end up losing the only good marbles we had.
My friends and I would play differently. We would make a small hole in the dirt and you could play up to as many players as you like and you could do free for all or teams. We would then take turns and everyone had to “clear” the hole meaning you had to get into the hole before you can shoot anyone. Once you clear the hole you would then have to hit your opponent twice/three times in a row (depending on what yall agree on) but each hit has to create distance so no soft hits. Once you got out, your marble would go into the hole and the winner would get all of the marbles. or you can play for individual keeps, so if someone were to get another player out they would just keep their marble, but the first way was always better reward for winner.
I used to play marbles as a kid but never understood what to do. I just flicked and let my friend worry about collecting the marbles and telling me what to do next.. and now 20 some years later after watching this video I finally understand the game lol😅
I'm 30 and when I was like 8 in 2000 I played marbles, crazzy bones, real beyblades, jacks, pogs, and there was a few others that we played that would play for keeps and cause fights on playground lol
We played marbles differently. It was a player vs player game. Someone would challenge you and than we would agree on which marble we would play each other with. The 1st player would throw their marble and the 2nd player would try to get their marble in position. The player who hit the others marble first won the match and got to keep the other players marble. If you played regular marble vs bolder you would have the hit the bolder 3 times to win the match.
In south Africa it's the same funny thing is other people my age in America don't even know what marbles are let alone played it in school im grateful those were some fun years 😢
38 here when I was a kid it was pogs, Jack's and very seldom marbles. We played for keeps. Whenever there was a construction site where old houses were we'd find peopels shooters and mibs. They were nowhere near the near perfect quality of the marbles we had they were defective and hand made but I enjoyed finding them.. wed always say "somebody lost there marbles" Whenever we'd find one. Keep your eyes peeled.
What happens to the mibs if both them AND your marble end up outside the circle? Does the player still keep them and their turn ends or are they forfeit or do they go to the other team?
Grew up in Europe I played marbles outside with our neighborhood boys and girls. I played marble until age 11 😅 as a girl. I was looked at as a weirdo lol.
We threw them in a hole ,matching your opponent,marble for marble ,then I think the person who gets them in the hole first wins all the marbles ,any marble not in the whole gets flicked
Celestials make new universes by playing marbles. Where going digital when we earn a mid it will in game spawn 100% delivery garentee well wonder around till we find the person that the mib belongs to.
Can I just point out that you say 3 feet, 1-2 meters, but 1 meter is more than 3 feet, 2 meters is like 6.5 feet. What're you playing at with these shonky conversions.

Same here. Never had a need. But now these games are very important for our children. They are sucked into phones.

We are trying to make it come back! Gave my 10 year old a yo yo and my 6 year old marbles for Christmas!

...try 'mumblety -peg'.
Nothing beats playing with Tazos
Thank you for the video, that was a very clear and simple explanation.
kinda wish i knew this as a kid, i had no idea there was actually a game for them i always thought they were just cheap toys to be rolled around.
I remember being 6yo playing this in the streets of Peru, looking like a hoodlum playing craps

This was so helpful
Thank you for reminding of my past. I have a cup of marbles in the cupboard and I forgotten what do I do with them.
I'd like them hahahaha
If they are vintage 70 or 80's probably world a couple hundred dollars.
Thank you 😊
I love the tut I played with my grandma a lot a while ago and I forgot how so I just searched it up and now I understand
Grew up in Europe I played marbles outside with our neighborhood boys and girls. I played marble until age 11 😅 as a girl. I was looked at as a weirdo lol.
I've been playing wrong my whole life lol
Great! Thanks!
I honestly am just watching this cuz I have a huge collection
Is there where the quote “losing your marbles” comes from?
do we have to split the 13 marbles like he will bring out 6 and i will bring out 7? and what do you mean all the oponents has collected?
This is the game not played for keeps, just for points. It doesn't matter who brings which marbles.
Is it spelled "mib"? There are no captions. Please answer
I was told that at one time the game was out lawed because people were gambling is that true
Who's here after the squid game ?
Me!!!
Me too
Yes
Same here.
Me after 25 years who had a big collection but never played any improvised games or used them as tokens.
I can smell the squid game fans😫✋
Yup, that’s me.
Yes
We threw them in a hole ,matching your opponent,marble for marble ,then I think the person who gets them in the hole first wins all the marbles ,any marble not in the whole gets flicked
That is how European people play.
I don't even know the game called Marbles until I watched this video
My age 71yr old I used to play nearest the big marble just like carpets bowls
Clusters those were the huge ones.
