Simple Scoring

  • Each player takes turns tossing or rolling one of their marbles towards the Shooter. Turns continue until all marbles have been played during the round. The two closest marbles to the Shooter score points. Continue playing rounds while adding points per Player until a Player reaches 11 points. If more than one Player scores 11 points or more at the same time, the Player with the highest points total wins.

Moderate Scoring

  • Each player takes turns tossing one of their marbles towards the Shooter. Turns continue until all marbles have been played during the round. Remove all marbles except the 4 closest to the Shooter. Count which player has the majority of the 4. Only one player scores points per round. Continue playing rounds while adding points per Player until a Player reaches 11 points without going over. If a Player goes past 11 points, then they must reset their score to 8 points and continue playing.
