Losing Marbles
During game play, marbles may be lost or destroyed in a number of ways. Check under the MARBLE DROP Components section to find which parts of the puzzle could cause trouble. You will probably learn quickly that if the wrong colored marble falls into the incorrect exit bin, it will be destroyed. Once an exit bin is filled, a buzz saw will rise from the track and grind to dust any additional marbles that try to enter.
Marbles can be lost as well. If the cannon is pointing upward off the track and a marble tries to enter the cannon barrel, the marble will drop off the table and disappear. Probably the biggest loss of marbles happens when you overload the puzzle with too many marbles and ignore the warning light. If you choose to keep adding marbles, all marbles, including those in exit bins, will be obliterated.
