Should a player forget his turn and take up his marble to "fire" before time, he is "burned" and cannot "fire" to "kill". So the game continues until only one player is left (the others being killed) or until the "ring" is "skinned" i.e. all the marbles are knocked out of the ring. Should a player reel his marble into the "ring" he is "fat" and is bebarred [?] from playing in that game.
