In yet another marble game from Ideal, and a somewhat dubious one at that, competing players would in turn stick their fingers through a hole in a plastic head and collect the marbles that fell out.

Billed as the "rootin'-tootin'-marble shootin" game, Ideal's Quick Shoot was a small shooting gallery where up to four players would compete to get a marble through each side of their plastic target.

I wonder how a singular, seemingly benign marble ties into all this mayhem. Dell No. 100 - The So Blue Marble by Dorothy B. Hughes, 1946.
