Warstone by Duncan Toys
 |
Marbles for the 21st Century
In Warstone players use marbles as assault weapons to knock opposing stones off the battlefield through high-velocity, high-impact attacks. In addition to the hand-eye coordination and skill of old-fashioned marbles, players also utilize cards to improve their attack or defense, such as forcing a player to hold a marble between thier eyes and drop it onto the enemy; Bouncing a marble off the ground before it strikes its target. It's Marbles for the 21st Century!
The goal of each epic battle is to knock out your opponents marbles before he gets yours in this fast paced game.
WarStone™ is based upon an original concept by Trish Bell who, together with 30-year veteran game inventor Richard C. Levy, developed and licensed the game to Duncan Toys Company. Levy has created and licensed dozens of board games, including those based upon the best-selling literary works Men Are from Mars, Women Are From Venus™ and Chicken Soup for the SoulŪ.
Richard is also a Co-inventor of Furby, an electronic toy that has sold over 50 million units to date.
