To play Ker Plunk!, first set up the game by passing the straws through the holes in the middle of the translucent tube to form a lattice 'web'. Then place the marbles on top of the tube, where they'll be held by the web. Each player should choose one of the four numbered compartments in the base. The game starts with players taking turns to remove the sticks from below the marbles, trying to stop the marbles from dropping. The player who ends up with the least number of marbles wins. When handling the game, be gentle to avoid accidentally knocking the marbles out. After playing, you can easily store the game by putting all the sticks and marbles back in the tube. Keep the game in a dry place to prevent any damage to the tube or marbles.
