Title: Marble Racing
Post by: Zzzptm on June 30, 2020, 09:08:23 AM

I pick teams to cheer for and teams to have a rivalry with and have a great time:

The idea of marbles as both Olympic-style athletes and as Formula racing teams is quite good fun.

While that was a fun watch, I think I would tire of it quickly!

They come out one every few days or so, about 10-15 mins of diversion. I like to cheer for the Mint and Duck teams and boo and hiss the Orangers because they think they're sooooooooooooooo cool!

A few of the Marbula One runs got monotonous, but most can have a big challenge for the top spot at the end, and I love watching those.

Hahah! I didn't know this was a thing...

I like how they have some marble audience there as well!

Jelle will hide a marble in the audience to spot, but I never really look for it, I'm focused on the races or events.

But I do like to talk about them like they're real - "That's the third crash on that turn! They really need to look at improving safety on this track!" :D
