you think of a game called ring"
Ring is played by putting two or
more marbles in a ring. Then you
shoot at the marbles in the ring with
another marble. If you hit one and
knock it out and your marble you
hit it with stayed in the ring, you
would shoot again where your marble
stopped in the ring. If you went
out of the ring the person you were
playing with would shoot at them.
After all the marbles were knocked
