The most popular of marbles games were played on dirt. In Potty, a hole is dug into the dirt with the heel. All players throw their marbles in turn at the Pot from a throwing line about seven feet away. The player whose marble is closest to the hole (if he is lucky, he will throw his marble into the Pot on the first try) goes first. He then shoots for the Pot (...) 1, record 1, English, - potty

Le pot. (...) Les joueurs lancent à tour de rôle une bille vers le "pot", trou de 15 cm de diamètre creusé à 4 m de la ligne de départ. Les billes sont ensuite lancées de l'endroit où elles se sont arrêtées, sauf quand un joueur a réussi à envoyer sa bille dans le pot, auquel cas il recommence à jouer de la ligne de départ. Plutôt que de viser le pot, les joueurs peuvent avoir intérêt dans certains cas à viser une bille adverse pour l'écarter du pot. Chaque bille entrée dans le pot rapporte 10 points. La partie se joue généralement en 110 points. L'enjeu (un nombre de billes) est fixé à l'avance par les joueurs. 3, record 1, French, - pot
