More marbles

Marbles. Ah, marbles. I don't know if you've managed to read "A Million Ways to Play Marbles, at Least" - originally included in the appendix of The Well-Played Game. In it's own silly way, it reflects pretty much everything I know about the nature of games. And if you have read it, perhaps you'd enjoy hearing me read it.

But whether you've heard it or read it, the important thing is that you've played it. And here, for your conceptual delectation, a significant and well-illustrated collection of marble games from the veritable Land of Marbles, itself.

O, and do you know about magnetic marbles?

Because, see, it's not really about marbles.
