COMING SOON! Whirly Derby

Marbles go in. Marbles spin around a metal speedway. The first three to drop through the center win. Whirly Derby is pure noisy joy, but there's real strategy hiding under the clatter: you secretly decide how many marbles from your team to send into each race, and every marble you race is gone for good.

Fall behind and the Slowness Bonus helps you catch up, and the advanced rules bring in the Thunderball, an unstoppable marble that changes everything. After eight races, the most points takes the trophy.
