<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wood duck 72, post: 24692929, member: 114398&quot;]Marbles were a big past time in Western Nebraska. The way we played was to dig a hole(the pot) in the ground and then draw a line a distance from the pot.You would then determine how many marbles each player would put in the pot to play(5 upper10upperand so on) You then stood behind the pot and lagged your smallest steely(small ball bearings)to the line. The guy who was closest to the line got to </p><p>go first and 2 closest second and so on. If you were first shooter you then took out you biggest steely and launched it at the pot. If your steely stayed in the pot you won all the marbles. If it hit in the pot but didn’t stay you got to keep any marbles you knocked out of the pot. </p><p>Games could go on for hours. One time we had to throw your steely off the roof of the garage and have it roll into the pot to win. The older kids played for more marbles (100 upper was as high as I saw)</p><p>Anyone else play this way?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
