One version of the game (marbles) involves drawing a circle
in sand, and players will take turns knocking other
players' marbles out of the circle with their own.
This game is called ringer. Other versions involve
shooting marbles at target marbles or into holes in
the ground. A larger-scale game of marbles might
involve taking turns trying to hit an opponent's
marble to win. A useful strategy is to throw a marble
so that it lands in a protected or difficult location
should it miss the target. As with many children's
games, new rules are devised all the time, and each
group is likely to have its own version, often
customised to the environment. Source: Wikipedia
