Does it come with marbles?

Yes, it comes with 20 marbles and what's nice is they are regular marbles so easily replaced. Though we've managed not to lose any yet:)

Just build a pen that will corral the marbles. I usually use the longer pieces that are left over from a project and they will contain the marbles. Good question. John

No. It comes with specialized balls that are more like the size of ping pong balls.

Hi, Scot, it's me again! I just checked the box and nowhere, on the outside, does it state specific marble measurements. I researched several brands before I made my final purchase decision, and I must have been recalling a different marble track item. The "marbles" that are included with this set, are actually some type of very hard plastic and they are silver. The real, genuine vintage, marbles I purchased to go along with the gift, are working just fine with the track. I think the real marbles are just a bit heavier.

There are not alternate set up ideas provided, but the set is easy to set up in many way. I bought it for my three year old grandson and he could easily put it together in many shapes with a little help. You can use other marbles, but they need to be the slightly smaller one. It also works best if all the marbles you run at one time are the same type or weight. This is really the best marble run toy.

yes .. there is are basic shapes (like a puzzle outline) that the pieces fit into. Kids loved it! Great item.

It does not come with ideas on how to set up beyond what's on the packaging box. However, it is pretty easy to set up once you get the hang of it and there's enough pieces to make different configurations each time so it's always interesting to kids. It does use regular marbles so easy to replace if you lose one. Also, you didn't ask but the pieces are a lot sturdier than other brands. This should last you a long time. I hope this helps.

The colors are not bad at all. This is a nice set that I gave to my son this Christmas, though I haven't looked into replacement marbles. The marbles are attractive colors and have a great weight to them.

Hi, I believe that they are standard size... The package comes with like 10 marbles and they are the same size as the regular size marbles you buy at the store.. Hope this helps!

Yes, it's marble. Also quite heavy and will take two people to attach the legs. The quality is superb, however, and my guests and family love it! I highly recommend.

Yes the marble is the colure it shows in the picture. However when I received my pastry board it was broken, the company sent a replacement, but it was also broken.

Yes, the stones were included with my purchase as well as a special set of instructions designed for four sides of play. My kiddos love this game!

No, it does not come with rocks. And the squirrels can jump in the bird bath - I see them occasionally jump up and get a sip of water from ours.

Yes it does come with rocks. You can also purchase other colors of rocks to put in the unit. Carlos

The board comes in the box shown in the picture. There is a small drawstring bag for the marbles which we keep in the box despite the lump it creates.

The marbles are 5/8 of an inch across. I hope this assists you. I bought two sets of these, one for myself and one for my grandson. The only negative I have is there are no red marbles in either set, other than that I really enjoy playing this game with my grandchildren.
