Cachinas

The most beautiful marble games!

As a joint project of Grubbe Media and the SOS Kinderdörfern a series of games is published under the label of Edition SOS –Kinderdörfer Spiele aus aller Welt. All boxes in the series offer game classics in a uniform presentation, all of these games are played all over the world, but can be assigned – for one reason or another – to one specific country. Marble games – where are they not played by children? In this edition within the series the marble games are assigned to Bolivia.

In earlier times the throwing games were played with beans or stones, later came marbles made from burnt loam and today mostly glass marbles are used. These glass marbles were invented in the middle of the 19^th century and were produced in Thuringia for the first time. The instruction booklet offers lot of different versions. The material is included in the shape of one big and 20 small glass marbles. Also included is the marble wall and rules for it. All four sides have been given a different design and can be used alone or in combinations. The rules also cite information on curia for marbles, so on a marble museum, and the rules also give tips how to throw marbles well.

As in all other games of the series – which finally will feature 20 different titles – you encounter old familiar and well-loved games in new and old versions, learn a lot of their history and some curious facts about the world of the colored glass marbles, which have been around for all of us all our lives. As in all games in the series in Cachinas, too, the rules of the game have been kept as near as possible to the original local version of the game.
