How to play
Get all ten of your marbles across the board into the corner opposite the one you started in. On your turn, move one marble either by stepping into a neighbouring empty hole, or by jumping. Jumps can be chained as far as they will go.
In Classic, you jump a marble standing right beside you and land in the empty hole just past it. In Super, you can jump a marble at any distance, so long as every hole between you is empty and you land the same distance beyond it.
The full rules are in the app, under How to Play on the home screen.
Common questions
- My turn ended before I meant it to. It should not. Nothing is committed until you press End turn. If you have moved and changed your mind, press Cancel, or tap the marble to walk it back one hop at a time.
- The board is at an angle and I want it flat. Open the menu and turn on Flat board. With it on, the board cannot be tipped by accident.
- Can I undo a completed turn? Yes, one turn back, from the menu.
- Does it need the internet? No. The game is entirely on your device and works offline.
- Is my game saved if I close the app? Yes, after every turn. Choose Resume Game on the home screen.
