Marvin Marvel's Marvelous Marble Machine

Players act as middle managers controlling a marble-sorting machine, directing newly minted marbles from the center toward one of six scoring areas around the board. Marble tiles show a direction and movement value, while machine parts can reverse, redirect, push, or jump marbles as they move. On each turn, players place one or two tiles, using modifier tiles to reposition or remove machine parts already in play. The game ends when tiles run out or a marble quota is reached, then the machine continues operating until all marbles reach their destinations. The player with the most marbles wins.

    A bit chaotic, but the meshing of machinery and marbles is a fascinating theme. See my review for more details...
