Marralhinha

same game. different tables.

Marralhinha board mid-game with four players

my family has been playing marralhinha, a marble game from terceira, açores, for a couple of years. i built an online version so friends could pull up a chair from anywhere. a personal side project, from the 3d board to the multiplayer server.

the table

a familiar table, from anywhere.

a wooden board, glass marbles, and a shortcut worth arguing over. three.js brings the table to life; a node + socket.io server keeps everyone in sync. share a room code, play with friends, or let bots fill the empty seats.

between rounds

your marbles. your table.

glass, gold leaf, tiny galaxies. games earn marbucks for marbles, boards, and dice that make the table yours, without changing the odds. play in the browser or bring the same game into a discord voice channel.
