Wooden Marble Run

Build your own wooden marble run with a timeless set of 30 blocks, tracks and conduits in plain and painted wood. Create towering tracks or long-distance courses for six glass marbles to travel by combining the chunky wooden blocks, mixing solid painted supports and varnished tracks and linking pieces, in myriad ways. Played with since ancient times, glass marbles became mass-produced after the invention of ‘marble scissors’ in 1848 in Lauscha, Germany. Indeed, so popular were marble games in Germany that in 1503 Nuremberg enacted a statute to prohibit playing marbles in the street, restricting games to a neighbouring meadow. With a tactile finish and endless fun, set-up your own courses and watch the marbles run with this family-friendly favourite.
