Everyone has heard about the Gobstones: a game from the Magic’s World that resemble the marbles game in the Muggle’s World. But how do you play it?
There are three types of Gobstones games: Traditional, Snake Pit, and Jack Stone.
Traditional Rules:
Game Purpose: Casting the more Gobstone you can outside the circle.
Needings: Circle 1mx1m, 13 common Gobstones, Your house’s Gobstones, your opponent house’s Gobstones.
Both of you will start from the circle line, in turn you kick your house’s Gobstone, trying to send the common ones outside of the circle.
For each common Gobstone sent outside the circle it’s worth one point.
But pay attention if attempting to do so you also send out your personal Gobstone, you’ll loose a point and your opponent will gain one.
When all the common Gobstones have been kicked out of the circle the game ends, the one with the more points obtained wins.
Snake Pit
Game Purpose: Get the closest as possible to the pit, without falling it.
Needings: Circle 1mx1m with a pit at the center about 5cmx5cm, your house’s Gobstones, your opponent house’s Gobstones.

You’ll have 4 Gobstones to kick each, at the end of these the games end and the closest to the pit wins.
