This marble solitaire set is a beautiful game that will be enjoyed for years to come. It features a solid Malaysian Oak wood board and blue glass marbles. A groove along the outside edge of the board holds the marbles when they have been removed from the playing field.
Legend says that Solitaire was invented to entertain Louis XIV, The Sun King, who ruled from 1643 to 1715. A French engraving dating from 1697 shows Princess de Soubise playing the very fashionable game. The goal of this classic Marble Solitaire strategy game is to remove as many marbles as possible, by jumping one marble over another, either horizontally or vertically. The rules are deceptively simple as it is definitely an intriguing challenge.
