Murbles®: The Outdoor Family Game For All Ages
When customers are outside with family, enjoying the great outdoors, they’re sometimes going to need something to keep them entertained. The grilled food and conversations can be great, sure, but what if they’re looking for something a little more active and competitive? Murbles, by Kramer Kreations, is the game that your customers will be begging to add to their collection of fun, family-friendly games!
Murbles is a game that requires no skill, and anyone can start playing and having fun right away, even if they’ve never played it before! Murbles takes cues from games such as bocce ball, horseshoes, and of course, marbles.
How It Started
The idea behind Murbles started way back in 1979 when creator Murray Kramer was in college. He was playing horseshoes with a retired gentleman who lived next door to him. For two years, Murray attempted to win a game of horseshoes against the gentleman, but simply couldn’t. So, instead, Murray decided to create his own game, one that anyone could easily learn how to play and win.
Murray based his game on the ancient European game of Bocce, where players attempt to get as close to possible to the “scoring” ball, and closer than their opponent’s balls. Murray’s game is different, however, because his Murbles are sized right, lighter, and more dynamic than the standard Bocce balls, making for a more enjoyable experience for players.
Murbles can be played by anywhere between two to 16 players. They come packaged in a heavy duty canvas tote bag, with the instructions for the game conveniently printed on the bag. You’ll never be in a place where you don’t remember how to play the game, or remember what the rules for scoring are.
How To Play
To play Murbles, two or more players select different colored Murble balls. There is one ball that is designated the “point” ball, and players attempt to throw their colored balls as close to the white point ball as possible. The player with their colored ball closest to the white point ball, and closer than their opponent’s balls, scores points that round. This is a brief overview of how the game is played, but for more detailed instructions check out the official rules.
Fun For Everyone
This game isn’t just great for kids and teens, it’s also a fantastic game for adults of all ages, from parents to grandparents. The rules vary slightly from children to adults; children play the game with two balls, adults play with three. It’s not difficult to learn the game, and once it’s learned, Murbles can be played over and over again for hours of family-friendly entertainment.
Murbles can also be played literally anywhere you want to play it! From a campground to the beach, to your backyard and more! There’s no limit to where Murbles can be enjoyed. That’s the advantage of this fun game!
