In Colombia when we were children we played with marbles. The game consists of putting some marbles in a sqaure we draw with chalk. Each person puts the same quantity of marbles inside the square. It can be 3, 6 or 9. Each person stands at the same distance with marbles that are the same color. The people who you play hit the marbles in the square and yours. I remember being a very bad player because I bought some marbles and most times I played  I lost so many marbles. I have some friends from that time who I lost because of gang violence and drugs. Sometimes I miss those times but they were hard times. We had empty stomachs but hearts full of love.
