Thought you had seen it all!

Thought yoPlaying Marbles in Pragueu had seen it all? Well marbles is one of the world’s oldest sports having been played in the same manner  for thousands of years.

Not the most lucrative game, nor the most common, this event would probably only rate on the very fringes of the sporting section in your local rag.

Whether it be an anarchic team game from ancient Rome or a tiddler version played among Victorian era boarding school boys, to this day, marbles maintains continuous presence on the playground.

There are references to marble play as far back as the Egyptian Empire so it is difficult to imagine a time when children around the world we not experiencing the great joys of winning or the heartbreak of losing a high-stakes game of marbles.

This time honoured children’s game is no longer relegated to the playground, the modern game now is riddled with rules and regulations as globalisation is every form takes hold of this game.

The World individual Marbles Championships will celebrate its sixth anniversary in Prague in July 2010.   Players from around the globe will descend into this time honoured city to battle it out amongst the world’s best. However the lofty title should not put the average player off as players of all skills are welcome.

Its also easy to find something to do in this magnificent city after a long day on the marble field. Visit Prague Castle (the worlds largest) and see the glorious St. Vitus Cathedral.
