Magic Marbles is a strategy board game for 2-6 players who race marbles around a track to the safety of their home. There is always the chance of landing on a magic spot leading to an encounter with the Generous Genie, Magic Carpet, Sinister Sultan or Fortunate Spell. Pickpockets and jugglers can sneak up – best to be on the front foot and hone one's own pick pocket and juggling skills. Inspired by classic games such as Parcheesi, Ludo and Mensch Ärgere Dich Nicht, Magic Marbles is a modern game using themed function cards and a magic dice to inject excitement and game changing twists and turns. The game is easy to learn. Each player receives a quick start reference card and playing cards themselves have functions printed on them. The unique felt board design is ideal for travelling. It rolls up into a compact bag: easy to store in any cupboard, caravan, suitcase or bag. —description from the publisher
