In 1903, Martin Frederick Christensen-also of Akron-made the first machine-made glass marbles on his patented machine. Some of the first US-produced glass marbles were also made in Akron by James Harvey Leighton. The first mass-produced toy marbles (clay) made in the US were made in Akron, Ohio, by S. The game has become popular throughout the US and other countries. : 148 Ceramic marbles entered inexpensive mass production in the 1870s. A German glassblower invented marble scissors, a device for making marbles, in 1846. It is unknown where marbles were first manufactured. At this point, marbles were made in mills and quarries by polishing small fragments of real stone like marble, agate, alabaster, limestone, and even brass. The name "marble", used for the little toy balls, comes from this region and era, and refers to the stone called marble. In 1503, the town council of Nuremberg, Germany, limited the playing of marble games to a meadow outside the town. Marbles arrived in Britain, imported from the Low Countries, during the medieval era. They were commonly made of clay, stone or glass. : 553 Marbles are often mentioned in Roman literature, as in Ovid's poem "Nux" (which mentions playing the game with walnuts), and there are many examples of marbles from excavations of sites associated with Chaldeans of Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt. In the early twentieth century, small balls of stone from about 2500 BCE, identified by archaeologists as marbles, were found by excavation near Mohenjo-daro, in a site associated with the Indus Valley civilization.
Play continues clockwise around the table until a player has successfully moved all of their pegs to their destination triangle.Roman children playing with nuts, child sarcophagi circa 270–300. Players cannot end their turn with one of their pegs in another player's starting or destination triangle. Once a peg reaches an open space in a player's destination triangle, it cannot be moved out of that triangle for the remainder of the game, but it can be moved within the triangle. Each player is trying to move their pegs to the triangle directly across from them on the board. Unlike traditional checkers, hopped pieces are not removed from the board in Chinese checkers. If a player does hop a piece, they may continue to hop pieces as long as there is an empty space on the other side to land on, and they may change directions while hopping if they'd like. Players may also hop a peg and land in an open space on the opposite side, regardless of the color of the peg, as long as they’re moving their piece in a straight line. A peg may be moved to any adjacent space as long as it’s open. Each turn consists of a player moving one peg. Then, everyone flips a coin to see who goes first. To play, each player starts by choosing a colored peg and setting their pieces up in the designated triangle that matches their color.
Chinese checkers is a fun board game played with 2, 3, 4, or 6 players where players try to move their 10 pieces, called pegs, across the board to occupy all 10 of the destination holes on the opposite side of the board.
