The story:
----------

These marbles want to reach the exit, regardless of any obstacles. However, the
correct switches have still have to be set by you... Every marble track, is a
new thrilling mystery.

What is behind?
---------------

Mystic Marbles belongs to a new generation of games:

Think 'n' Roll - first think, then roll!

Instead of getting rid of aggravating pieces by either shooting or crushing them,
the player has to try and find a way around the obstacles. Mystic Marbles excludes
violence and therefore we consider it particularly suitable for children.

However, adults also get their money’s worth thanks to some really complicated tracks.
Mystic Marbles also allows you to build your own marble tracks with your own
mysteries. So the fun will not end once you have gone through all the set marble
tracks, as everybody who is caught by marble fever may build new marble tracks and
pass them on to all other Mystic Marble fans.
