THE RULES

Purpose of the Game

The object of the game is to win the opponent's Queen Marble. To do this it is necessary to create with your own series of marbles, any combination of at least four consecutive marbles called Real, which crosses one or more grooves that surround the opposing Queen Marble, in a vulnerable area called Castle Area.
We will get a winning Winning Real!
The player who leaves the opponent with less than four marbles to play also wins.

​

Game Preparation

Initially we divide all the marbles by color and place them on the marble holder board. The central hollow is the throne of the Biglia Queen, which, in case of victory, becomes the prison of the opponent. The short grooves, on the other hand, will contain the conquered marbles.

​

Start of the Game

At the start of each game, each player chooses their own set of marbles. To decide who will make the first move, one of the two players will hide two marbles of different colors in his hands.
The opponent will choose the hand that will reveal the color of the series of marbles, which will start the game.

Playing the Game

One marble at a time is played in turn. Initially you use your own 21 marbles (20 Attack Marbles + 1 Queen Marble), present on the Marble Holder tablet and then those present on the Game Board.

​

Movements of the Marbles

The Attack Marbles are played in turn and placed freely on the Game Board. The intent is to create winning combinations (Real), necessary to conquer the opponent's marbles.
They can only be moved on the Game Board, when all those present have been played, on their own marble holder board.
The Marble Queen, on the other hand, can be moved freely according to one's own defense strategies, but by only one notch next to one's own.

​

Castle area

The hollow where the Biglia Queen is stationed is called a Castle. The movement area surrounding the Queen marble, on the other hand, is called the Castle Area. It is a vulnerable area because if violated by a Real, it allows you to win the game!

Entry into the game of the Biglia Queen

The Marble Queen can come into play at any time during the game. As a strategic choice, because it allows you to conquer more Attack Marbles in any combination, or by necessity, as the last remaining marble to be played on the Marble Rack.
It is important to know that:
• when all the Attack Marbles have been played, it is MANDATORY to play the Queen Marble;
• When the Queen Marble comes into play, it CANNOT be resumed as a Return Marble.

​

Real - Conquest of Marbles and Return Marbles

Real is the main move of the game, which allows you to conquer marbles. It is the combination of four consecutive Attack Marbles, achievable in any direction.
Allows you to subtract ONE from the opponent any Attack Marble in play. At the same time, TWO of the four marbles that compose it are picked up by choice from the combination. They are called Return Marbles and return to be part of your own supply of marbles, ready to be replayed.

​

Real Queen - Conquest of Marbles and Return Marbles

The Real Queen is the enhanced variant of the Real, achievable with the presence of the Queen Marble, within the combination of four consecutive marbles.
It allows to conquer from the marbles in play, TWO any Attack marbles to the opponent. TWO of the four marbles that compose it are taken up by choice from the combination. They are called Return Marbles and return to be part of your own supply of marbles, ready to be replayed.
It is important to know that:
• the player who scores the first Real Queen of the game wins the opponent THREE Attack Marbles instead of TWO. Always TWO return balls.

​

Winning Finisher: Winning Real

The game is won when any Real crosses the Castle Area of the Queen Marble. In other words, when we make a Real that intersects, even with a single ball, any hollow that surrounds the opposing Queen marble.
We will thus obtain a Winning Real winner! If the winning move also contains the Marble Queen, we will win the game with a prestigious Winning Real Queen!
Winning is doubled, even in tournament rankings!

​

End of the game

Following a Winning Real or a Winning Real Queen, the losing Marble Queen is taken captive, in the round recess of the winner's Marble Holder.
The winning Marble Queen takes the place of the losing one in his Castle.
Good fun!
