Object

To be the first player to roll all five of your marbles down your like-colored chute in the center of the "Roller Bowl."

Contents

Roller Bowl "stadium," and 4 sets of colored marbles (red, blue, green & yellow).

Note: To play the game you will need 5 of each colored marble; your game comes with one extra marble for each color, which serve as replacements.

How to Play (2-4 Player Version)

1. Each player chooses a set of five marbles of the [text missing in print] same color (one player is "red," one is "green," etc.) and places all five marbles in the matching color [text missing in print] slots (starting positions) in the top ring of the unit.

2. Each player has a chute in the center of the Roller Bowl colored to match his marbles. The Object is [text missing in print] to maneuver your marbles to fall in your chute.

3. The oldest player moves first (play then proceeds to the left.)

4. A move is a turn of any one ring (your choice) until one or more marbles drop to the next ring. You must IMMEDIATELY stop your move the moment one or more marbles drop! (Tip: carefully choose which ring to move.) Your goal is to cause your [text missing in print] marbles to drop closer and closer, and finally into, [text missing in print] your chute. At times, one or more of your opponent's marbles may drop. Drats!

   Note: An illegal move is one in which a player speedily rotates the ring causing many marbles to [text missing in print] drop at once. Rings must be moved slowly and stopped as soon as any marble(s) fall. If a player [text missing in print] makes this illegal move, two of his colored marbles must be returned to their starting positions as a [text missing in print] penalty. Also, a player cannot twist a ring unless [text missing in print] marbles are adjacent to it. Marbles must drop on each turn.

5. Scoring. When your marble falls into your chute, it will roll into your tray. Leave it there. You've scored!

Out of Bounds

Whenever a marble falls into a colored chute other than its own and enters an opponent's tray (for instance a blue marble goes down the red chute), that marble is "out of bounds" and its player must replace it on one of his starting positions.

6. Winning

Play continues until one player has "scored" all five of his marbles.

2 Player Game

Each player has two sets of adjacent marbles. First to score all ten wins!
