How to play ringer marbles game

Players take turns, and shoot their way around the bases. The first one to reach home plate wins the pot. Simple Ringer.

Try this simplified version of the classic ring game used in tournament and competition play. Draw a large circle, usually about 5 to 10 feet across, and place 13 marbles in the center, spaced 3 inches apart to form a cross. Using a designated shooter marble, players take turns shooting from outside the circle and trying to hit a target marble out of the ring while keeping the shooter marble inside the ring.

If the shooter misses, the player picks up his shooter marble and his turn is over. If the shooter scores a hit but the shooter marble rolls out of the ring, the player keeps any marbles that rolled out, including his shooter marble, and his turn is over. If the shooter scores a hit and the shooter marble stays inside of the ring, the player shoots again from the spot where the shooter marble came to a stop.

While playing boss-out, the first player shoots at one marble. The second player then tries to hit the marble of the first player. If successful, the second player collects both marbles. Spanning refers to when a player places his thumb on a marble and his index finger on the marble of his opponent. Subsequently, he draws his hand up while bringing both fingers together. If the player is successful, he gets to keep both marbles. When this attempt fails, the first player is allowed to shoot at either marble on the playing field.

If any player claims the last marble within the circle, he has to shoot a different marble for the second player to shoot at. This name is used to define two different marble games. The first game is miniature golf played with marbles. The rules are simple here. The players create a miniature course and take turns shooting holes through each hole. The first player to shoot through all nine holes on the course wins. Players go around in turns shooting marbles through the arches in numerical order and arches shot out of sequence are disqualified.

The winner is the first player to shoot all marbles through the nine holes in the correct sequence. Players are tasked with attempting to shoot a marble as close as possible to the middle of the hole without the marble going in.

With bridgeboard, a board with nine cuts along the edge is placed on its edge to create nine arches. Players then attempt to shoot through the arches and win the number of arches written above the hole. Here, players attempt to shoot marbles into a hole.
