The game of Solitaire is reputed to have been invented by a nobleman confined in the Bastille prison during the early years of the French Revolution. The game is played with 36 marbles. The object is to eliminate all but one marble, which should ideally end up in the center of the game board. This Solitaire gemstone game is not only a beautiful table top centerpiece but is also an irresistible, fun & challenging game to play, which will bring you many hours of enjoyment.

How To Play: Fill all the indents with marbles, then remove the center marble and place on the outer ring. The player begins by selecting a marble that can jump over another marble in either horizontal or vertical directions and land in an empty space. Then the jumped marble is removed and placed on the outer ring.  Continue jumping and removing marbles until no further moves are possible. In a perfect game, one marble remains in the center.

Set Includes: 38 handmade marbles/stones, hardwood game board
