One game of marbles that I used to play (end-May to August - appears marbles was a rainy-season game) was called 'MIL', where a hole was made in the ground, and we stood a couple of yards away flipping the marble so's to get it into the hole. The person who got his marble into the hole then had the right to hit every opponent's marble or something like that - memory's hazy now, last time I played that game was probably in 1966... Another game that was played was with empty cigarette packs folded flat - I don't know how long that game lasted, but it took off in the early sixties in Panjim. Cheers, Gabriel.
