Great table centrepiece. It’s as exciting to watch in action as it is to play. Addictively simple. Gets the balance between luck and skill just right, so it’s super-easy to learn but rewarding to play. Advanced rules add an extra level of skill, luck and venom with the advanced rules.
How to play:
1. Everyone secretly chooses how many marbles they want to enter into the race.
2. RACE TIME! Tip all the marbles out of the marble launcher and watch them race…
3. PICK YOUR POINTS! The player who won the race now chooses any trophy card from the line-up of three. 2nd place picks next. 3rd place must take the last card on offer.
The player with the most points after eight races is crowned Whirly Derby Champion of the Whirlyverse.
