History

I'm pretty sure Prince Charles does not advocate wrapping infants in plastic and playing "marbles" with them. Could we have a source please?

Unsubstantiated Material

All this stuff about the history and invention of the game needs refs. Its hard to believe as it is.--Light current 04:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


move from art:

The game "marbles" was originated by Lee Sefton, of Hatch End, UK. She discovered the possibility of knocking marbles into each other whilst on a trip to the senegetti where she apparently saw Lions playing the game in an apparition. Really?--Light current 04:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marbles

What is up with the random person that said that marbles came from horses testies? He must have SERIOUS 'Problems"! Can't edit it though.

Game play

Needs some major subcategorizing. Perhaps into geopraphical regions or even better into types of games (eg games name), since many games were probably played in one region, with some overlap between regions. Sources would be nice, but probably a lot of this information (like my entry) comes from personal experience.
