Childhood games and playing marbles

Playing marbles, also known as "bouncing ball", is to bounce your ball with your hands or feet. Once you touch the opponent's ball, take it away as a trophy. The loser needs to replenish the marbles in the same position until he loses.

Liu Liu eggs are usually given away by snacks bought at the grocery store. I remember that it was a 10-cent shredded beet dessert with four Liu Liu eggs, some of which were solid colors and some were petal colors. After school, I invited some classmates to buy a bag of snacks, in fact, in order to walk eggs and prepare "fighting" toys belonging to men during recess.

Generally, there are three ways to play: "hanging eyes", "playing straight" and "bouncing back to the door".

First of all, the "eye drops" game is the simplest. Although the name is scary, it is actually to put the opponent's ball underground and hold it in front of your eyes. Using the principle of "three lines in one" in physics, when two balls collide, the winner can collect "trophies". The game is simple, but the disadvantage is that the first player is generally too dominant. After a round, the second player has no chance, so I generally don't like this game.

Secondly, the "straight line" method requires that you can win the trophy by hitting the opponent's marbles with your hands or feet. I like playing with my feet. When I was a child, flat shoes were a perfect match for playing in a straight line, and the prediction was accurate. It is not a dream to hit 20-30 meters in one breath. Set the route before playing, keep your hands steady and your strength in place. The crisp crash gives people a feeling of winning. I am heroic in the world, as if I were playing life instead of a game. Of course, if you do something wrong, you should learn to stop loss in time. Keeping a straight line at close range is very harmful. Once you are entangled in your opponent, you may lose several games in a row.

The last thing to say is the game of "bouncing back to the door", which uses the rebound force of the cement wall to bounce the pinball placed at the opponent. Just like playing in a straight line, the foot ball pays attention to slow and steady play, and one strike is in place. Of course, if it is a close fight, the marbles need to fly and hit the ball in front, and they need the thumb to "pick". This "pick" is not a foul. In order not to waste the chance to hit the ball, there is a great probability to aim directly at the enemy ball in front after picking. I remember at that time I was still proud of my little achievements in the game of "bouncing back to the door"

After more than ten years of spring and autumn changes, I have now become what people used to call a "person". The games I played as a child, such as walking skills, can still bring back many young memories I mentioned.

It's all about winning or losing.

The purpose is so pure.
