You are the proud owner of a team of eight racing marbles.

2-6 Players  |  10+ Mins  |  Ages 8+

Features: Racing, Roll / Spin and Move

Theme: Dexterity, Family Game, Party Game, Humour

Description:

You must try to get as many top three finishes as you can. The higher you finish, the more points you get to bank. If you’re stuck in last place, unleash the Thunderball racer to power you back up the leaderboard. The player with the most points after eight races is crowned Whirly Derby Champion of Champions.

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.
