Murbles

Finally get the answer to the nagging “But mom, we have nothing to do outside!” Murbles is a great game for all ages that you can play in all kinds of weather and terrain. Throw your balls as close as possible to the white target ball. The one closest will win. Use the terrain to your advantage, and use tactics to win!

This game resembles the age-old Pétanque game, but it is way better! The colored balls are easy to find in any terrain. You can play with up to 16 players (with the XL Tournament Set). The balls come in 20 different colors, and you assemble your game bags yourself! The Large Tournament Set holds 28 balls (white target balls and eight colors) for a game of up to eight players, the Medium Tournament Set holds 14 balls (white target balls and four colors) for a game of up to four players, and the Tournament Standard Set has 7 balls (target ball and two colors) for a game of up to two players. As said, you can choose your own colors! Why not get something significant to you and your family? Match your school colors, sports team, or choose a color for each of your family members!

Murbles are injection-molded 3-inch diameter solid, high-density plastic balls that weigh ½ pound each. They come in 20 colors and float on water! They are simply unbreakable and easy to clean. It is the perfect outdoor game! Take it along on camping trips, tailgating, park outings, days at the beach, or BBQs in the backyard. A great gift for anyone!
