How to Play Marbles

Rules

Marbles is a game played with a number of marbles arranged in a row. Each player takes turns where they must remove between 1 and 3 marbles from the row. The player who removes the last marble wins. Equivalently, the player who cannot make any moves (remove any marbles) loses.

When it is your turn, you can click a marble and every marble to the right of the clicked marble (including the clicked marble) will be removed.
