Solitaire

[Penny O'Rorke]

Was reminded of this over the holidays, teaching the smallest grandchildren.........

Very nice drawing Penny. The marbles are great and the texture of the background is intriging. May I ask how you made the marbles and the background?

[Ron Duke]

What a fun drawing, Penny. I especially like the translucency of the larger marbles.

I would play, but everyone has said I have lost all my marbles.

Looks very nice, though.

Very nice drawing. I thought Solitaire was a card game ? But this game looks familiar to me...

Nice drawing Penny. It reminds of my childhood visits to my grandparents house.

I think it's Chinese Checkers.

I think it's Chinese Checkers.

I don't believe so..
Chinese Checkers is a star shaped board from my experience.
The purpose being to get your marbles to the home base (opposite star point)

Nice drawing Penny, the marble indents in the wood I'd be tempted to make round rather than ellipse though.

It is what we called solitaire. This is what I'd call chinese checkers. I can remember playing solitaire at my grandparents house as a small boy. The marbles were lead balls though! Thanks for the memory Penny and an excellent rendition.

Lonnie it is Marble Solitaire. A strategy game where you try to remove the marbles by jumping them. Similar to Peg Solitaire that Cracker Barrel restaurants had on all their tables in years past. Triangle shaped board with holes and golf tees as pegs.
