A number of games can be played with marbles.
Around the world
Europe
South Asia
Kanche
In kanche,[a] players prepare for the game by standing behind a line and trying to flick their marble towards a designated hole, with the player who manages to flick their marble closest to the hole getting the chance to go first in the game. The marbles are all then placed in the center of a circle, with each player getting one striking marble and the chance to flick their marble in an attempt to strike the circle-marbles out of the circle. Each marble thus displaced is acquired by the striker, and once all the marbles have been struck out of the circle, the player with the most marbles wins the game.[2][3]
Pili goli
The goal of the game is to flick a striking marble in order to knock other marbles laid around the field into holes that have been dug into the ground.[4][5][b]
