Description provided by Triple S Games on YouTube:

Learn the rules to the board game Tightrope quickly and concisely - This video has no distractions, just the rules. Don't own the game? Buy it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGMKFSYF?maas=maas_adg_5859D8E7F2F807E6F22633280EFB4FD1_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/410198/tightrope-a-balance-and-blocking-strategy-game RULES: The object of the game is to be the first to empty your cup and balance all your marbles on the bands. To setup, lay out the board and give each player 5 pegs and 3 stretchy bands; or 6 pegs and 4 bands for 3 players; or 7 pegs and 5 bands for 2. Beginning with the youngest player and proceeding clockwise, everyone randomly places their pegs into the board. Then, once all the pegs are in, each player stretches their bands around 3 or more pegs, creating a web suspended over the board. Everyone then takes a cup of colored marbles. On your turn, place one of your marbles from your cub onto anywhere in the web, including against pegs, other marbles, or on top of other marbles. If any marbles fall during your turn, then you must collect all the fallen marbles, regardless of color, to your cup; those will then have to be placed on future turns. However, if a big marble ever falls, it is returned to the box instead. The first player to empty their cup and place all of their marbles win the game! The round still finishes, so if another player is also able to empty their cub, they will tie. At any point during the game, if a player thinks there aren’t any safe places to place a marble, they may pass their turn. If all players pass in the same round, then the game ends and the player with the fewest marbles in their cup wins!
