"Stadium Checkers (also known as Roller Bowl)" is a race game, where players are trying to be the first to get their 5 marbles from the outer rim to their colored slot in the center of the board. It was originally published by Schaper in 1952 and was recently republished by Winning Moves Games USA in 2004 as "Roller Bowl," but then changed back to Stadium Checkers in 2007.

Gameplay

Players begin the game by choosing one color of marble and placing them in the start positions on the outer-most ring on the board. Starting with the start player, players take turns choosing one of the rings on the board and rotating it until one or more marbles drop to the next ring. A player cannot choose a ring to rotate that does not have marbles adjacent to it, as marbles must be made to drop by twisting the ring on a player's turn. As the marbles work towards the center chutes, players try to navigate their marbles towards their chute. If a player's marble falls into a chute that is not his own, the marble is returned to the start position on the outer-most ring of the board. The first player to get all five of their marbles into their chute in the center wins the game.
