We had an absolute blast traveling back in time for our 18th Century Marble Mania! 🕰️🔵 It was incredible to see everyone roll, aim, and learn the rules of “Ring Taw,” a classic game from the 1700s. From mastering fun colonial lingo like "taw" and "keep" to enjoying some good old-fashioned unplugged fun, the historical gameplay was a huge hit! ✨
