Description
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 intrigueing challenge. It's no wonder that Solitaire has endured in popularity over the centuries.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This looks so simple. And then you sit down and play. And play again. And again. The Solid Wood Solitaire with Blue Glass Marbles game is super cute and classy and nice enough to leave out on a table. And like I said, just try to walk by without taking a turn at the game. It's addicting. We love it. Mom, Dad and 16-year-old, too.
So much fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's so nice to have a solo game that keeps my interest that isn't on my phone. I will sit and play this for hours! I haven't won yet but I'm having fun trying. I plan to look into additional games like this if I ever become bored with this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When this game arrived I unpacked it and left it on the dinner table and it has not moved since. Someone is playing every day, usually multiple times a day. It is relaxing and satisfying; I love the sound of the marbles clicking against the wood. The wood is very nice quality, but the marbles did leave a little bit to be desired. This is a new family favorite for sure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This piece was really beautifully made and makes a nice coffee table conversation starter. The game itself is not one of my favorites, but it's well crafted and I think will stand the test of time.
So fun & relaxing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice set! The wood is heavy and substantial. I have played it nearly every day since I got it. It looks simple, but the challenge keeps you going. It reminds me of the golf T jumping game at Cracker Barrel, and is just as addictive! The marbles easily stay in place, and the carrying pouch for them is very nice, too. I enjoy the challenge, but it is fantastic for keeping my mind occupied at the end of a stressful day. I am sure that the play is working to keep my brain healthy, and lowering my stress level at the same time! I love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 3yr old has claimed this as his own and won't let his older siblings touch it - lol. My kids have played it as solitaire and they invented their own Chinese checkers rules for it with friends. I love how the marbles fit in the outer ring as you take them out so nothing gets lost. Such a fun and easy game that's being enjoyed by everyone!
Great Change of Routine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this awesome Wood Solitaire game! It kept my son and I entertained for a few hours as soon as we opened it. He'd never played a game like this and it reminded me of playing board games with my brother growing up. We got a little competition going to see who could get the lowest score. At first we were getting 6 or 7 marbles left and we played till we both got down to 3! It was so nice to spend time with him, laugh and and do something that wasn't electronic. It's a good brain exercise. I love that even though it's solitaire, we could still play against each other. I can't wait to pull this out the next time my brother is over! I highly recommend this beautiful Wooden Solitaire game for kids, adults and everyone in between.
