Known by many names and originating as far back as 1697. marble solitaire has been found in many countries, in many formats - and we've taken a classic approach to the British version of the game.
Our board is made from your choice of solid, handsome hardwoods. Maple and Cherry - it feels amazing to the touch, and looks stunning in any environment. Measuring 11" diameter, there is plenty of room to play this classic game, and it makes an amazing coffee table display!
Cherry wood enchants with its warm, reddish-brown tones that deepen and glow with age, transitioning from a soft amber blush to a rich, sun-kissed cinnamon. Its fine grain and silky sheen add a touch of timeless elegance to every handcrafted piece.
Maple wood glows with a soft, creamy hue, ranging from pale blonde to light honey. Its smooth grain and occasional ripples create a subtle, natural shimmer, evoking a sense of refined simplicity and timeless charm.
Our included marbles (33) are handmade in the USA, and are a nice solid 9/16" in size, and you can pick your color to compliment the wood choice - making this classic solo play board game truly, uniquely your own.

Care information
Edge grain boards need a little bit of love and care to give you a lifetime of use – so please follow these guidelines!
- They may feel greasy or oily when they arrive. This is normal! Temperature changes during shipping can melt or firm up the oil and wax, and it’s not uncommon for them to seep. This is why they are wrapped in plastic first. Simply wipe them down with a paper towel.
- Never ever *ever* put them in the dishwasher! Big no no! They will dry out, twist and warp and make us all sad.
- Water is the enemy. If possible, avoid leaving them on wet surfaces or soaking them in the sink. If they get wet, just wipe them off when you’re done – the bees wax will protect it, but you don’t want to let it soak and absorb too much.
- Storing them upright helps prevent water from soaking in and causing twists or warps.
- If they start to look a little dry, or sad, or feel rough – give them a generous coating on all sides of the board oil – let them sit for anywhere between 30 mins and overnight, and buff them with a lint free cloth. This will rehydrate the board, and the wax will give it a water resistant coating. You may want to do this more often in the early days to get them nice and saturated.
None of this is a hard science – they are meant to be used, to be cut on, to be tools in your kitchen or grill and home – but like anything, a little bit of TLC will make them love you forever!
If they ever get so rough from use you want to resurface them, spend some time sanding down to 220 grit – then a liberal dose of board butter or mineral oil to bring the color back – and they will be good as new.
We sell our own custom blend of board butter! You can pick up 4oz right here.
