Gobstones
Gobstones is a popular game played with special stones, similar to the Muggle game of marbles except that when a player loses a point, the gobstone then spits a putrid liquid at the player.

Variations
There are three variants of Gobstones: "Classic" Game (where you have to knock seven Gobstones out of the circle before your opponent does), "Jack Stone" Game (where after four snaps your Gobstone must be the one closest to the Jack Gobstone) and the "Snake Pit" Game (which is similar to "Jack Stone", however instead of a Jack Gobstone there’s a hole on the center of the circle).
Clubs, Associations and Leagues
There currently exist numerous Gobstones clubs and leagues. Hogwarts has various Gobstones Clubs. Most students own their own set of gobstones. Hogwarts' competitive Gobstone Team has held matches with other wizarding schools in the past. There is also an International Gobstones League, officiated from the Official Gobstone Club Offices, of the Department of Magical Games and Sports.
