If you start with no marbles on the board how can you throw the dice as there are no marbles as yet to move? So does this mean the first move has to be to place marbles in the central area?

Nana: Yes, you can move your marble in any direction. Sydney and Colette: A jump of any number of your opponent's contiguous marbles counts as "1" of your move steps, even if it's two or three or more marbles in a row. You cannot jump any of your *own* marbles, however. Maudie: You're right, that's a quirk in the rules, and, I believe, should be changed by a house rule. (Otherwise, everyone would just aim for their opponent's end zone — it's easier to get 3 there than to get 4 in your own!)

What happens if your opponent has their marbles in your inzone and there is not room for you to put your foyr marbles there?
Sydney says:

We would like clarification of the meaning of "move", is jumping the opponents marble one move or two? For now we decided to use a house rule, until we have clarification otherwise. So, our house rule is: you can only jump an opponent if you roll a 2 or 3, and a jump would count as two moves.
Colette says:

By jumping your opponent's marbles, is the consensus that 'jumping' means one opponent marble at a time with a space between them - as in Chinese Checkers - though the string of opponent marbles would constitute one move, OR, does the interpretation mean one jump involves vaulting over any number of adjacent opponent marbles with no spaces between them?
