Beat My Score: The Marbles Game
It's time for another heart-stopping edition of Beat My Score, and you know what that means. (It means I went out last night — Fat Tuesday, duh — and these posts take five minutes to publish.)

Courtesy of Linus, I present to you perhaps the most addictive game I've ever played online: Marbles. I must say that, like the Mets' chances of completely ruining Roberto Alomar's Hall of Fame career, I held out little hope in the beginning, but it has delivered in a big way.

The score to beat is 570. I average only about 175 per game, but, a la a Bill Mueller batting title, I pulled that one out of my ass one day. So hop to it, and post your best score in the comments area..

Comments: Beat My Score: The Marbles Game

8 games, 346 is the high, 161 average. This will definitely improve throughout the day.

Didnt I tell you no more of these posts??

It's a fiendish one, ain't it? My high is 660. Yes, 660. You may gaze at me, if you wish.

Just to give link love where it belongs, I got this in turn from Jess at Blind Cavefish - www.blindcavefish.com - and if I get fired for playing the damn thing, it's officially her fault.

Dam, another wasted day at the office!

Paul you are going to have to put up a 'Beat My Score' column on the left.

This game is fixed. I've been playing all day and JUST realized you get a penalty if you un-do a move. F&^#!

You do? I never noticed the penalty thing ... hmm, I'll have to rethink some of my play style.

Posted by Linus at February 25, 2004 4:50 PM
