It is just drilled holes in a piece of wood with a starting place and a home. Much like Sorry! or Parcheesi. We play the marble game with dice. It is a tradition in our house and something that can become absolutely vicious competition. Poor Auntie Angie didn't quite know what to make of all our cutthroat play. Phrases like "kill his guy!" were said frequently. It really isn't a violent game but you wouldn't know it by the way we play. Best thing is that it is easy enough for the kids to play.
Although I think Uncle Reece was having a good time convincing the boys to be his little minions and destroy Auntie Angie's chances of winning at all. She just isn't quite cutthroat enough. Zane ended up winning the game. Much to his Uncles dismay.
Somehow we are going to have to figure out how to make another board. Because Reece and I might end up in a fist fight over the darn thing if there isn't another one!

My Dad used to make us play a similar game called Aggravation. It was one that you could buy in the store. My Uncle in Louisiana has a home made version very similar to your board and they call it Wahoo.
