I got out my handy dandy drill and drilled holes through seven baseballs and three softballs. You must roll exact # of spaces on die to move your marbles into home.
Winning: The game is won when the first person has all his marbles safely home. If the number rolled on a player’s turn puts him on or ahead of his own marble he must move the one in front. The card deck (52 cards, no jokers) are shuffled and one player (Player 1) will deal four cards to each player, face down.Ī player may never land on or pass one of his own marbles. The origins are unclear, but some believe it originated in Jordan (though suppose it depends who you ask!) Similar to Ludo or Aggravation the principal is simple, move your four marbles around the board and get them to safety. My Emirati friends introduced the game “Jackaroo” to me and honestly, it’s addictive. The Goal of the game is to put all your and your teammate marbles in the Base.
Jackaroo is a board game played with Cards, Marble, and Wooden Boards for up to four players, whose objective is to be the first player to have all four playing pieces reach the player’s home section of the board.
Place the remaining cards in the center of the game board. Reshuffle the decks and deal out five cards face down, one at a time, to each player in the game. The highest card goes first and play continues clockwise. Shuffle two decks of playing cards with Jokers and allow each player to draw one card.
