Carbles: Marbles & Cards Game

Carbles is the classic marbles and cards game — known around kitchen tables as Pegs and Jokers, Tock, or Wahoo — now on your phone and tablet. Race all four of your marbles out of your lot, around the board, and into your goal, but every move depends on the cards in your hand.

Every turn is a small puzzle: play a card and make it count. Aces and Kings break marbles out of your lot. Jacks move 11 — or swap any two marbles on the board. Sevens split their steps across your marbles any way you like. Fours march backwards. Land on a rival and their marble goes all the way back home. And if your hand has no way out, you fold and watch the round play on without you.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Play Online — create a game and share a 4-letter code, or tap Quick Match to get seated with other players. iPhone, iPad, and Android all play at the same table. Dropped connection? Rejoin and pick your seat right back up — the AI covers you while you're gone.
• Relaxed pace — online games that wait for you. Take turns whenever you like: your game keeps for two weeks, survives restarts, and a notification tells you when it's your move.
• Solo vs Computer — 1 to 11 AI opponents with Easy, Medium, and Hard strength, and an AI that actually puts up a fight
• Pass & Play — hot-seat games on one device, with a pass-the-phone privacy gate so nobody peeks at your hand
• Partners — team up with the player across the board, trade a card each deal, and bring your teammate home after you finish
• House rules — open hands, hop-in-home, the center marble, and around-again for tables that like their own rules

A BOARD THAT GROWS WITH THE TABLE
Two or three players share the classic 4-color board — with 2 you each run two colors as a team, with 3 the first player runs two. From 4 up to 12, the board reshapes itself — square, hexagon, octagon and beyond — with a home stretch and a goal for every seat. And your colors always sit at the bottom, like your side of a real table. It's the marble board game that always fits your table.

HOW TO PLAY CARBLES
The marbles and cards race in six steps:
1. Every player gets four marbles in their lot and a hand of cards.
2. Play an Ace or King to bring a marble out to your start spot.
3. Cards move marbles by their number — Jacks swap, Sevens split their steps, Fours go backwards.
4. Land on another marble to send it all the way back to its lot.
5. No playable card? Fold, and the round plays on without you.
6. First to bring all four marbles home to the goal wins — in Partners, your team finishes together.
