Heritage & History
Murbles was created by Murray Kramer, a Pensacola, Florida resident whose interest in bocce ball dated to a European posting in the early 1970s. He played bocce in Rome and spent decades refining his own version: balls sized and weighted for family play, lighter than traditional bocce, and compact enough to carry anywhere. He called them Murbles — a contraction of Murray's Marbles — and manufactured his first sets at a local Pensacola foundry.
Kramer began selling Murbles commercially through his company, Kramer Kreations, around 2009. The game caught on through regional tournaments, senior games events, and word-of-mouth from families who appreciated a yard game that worked on uneven terrain, without a dedicated court, and across three generations simultaneously. Murbles has since become a regular fixture at the Pensacola senior games and has distributed through Amazon and specialty retailers nationwide.
Made in Pensacola, Florida
Murbles balls are injection-molded at Diversified Fasteners in Pensacola, Florida, using solid high-density polyethylene plastic. Each ball is 3 inches in diameter and weighs approximately half a pound — lighter than regulation bocce balls, which makes them safer for younger and older players and reduces the fatigue of extended outdoor play. The high-density polyethylene is the same class of plastic used in food containers and cutting boards — durable, non-toxic, and UV-resistant.
The game mechanics are simple: toss the point ball (the pallina), then take turns throwing the game balls as close to the point ball as possible. The player with one or more balls closest to the point ball scores. Unlike bocce, Murbles has no court requirement — uneven grass, sand, and gravel all work fine. Sets come in multiple configurations from 7-ball two-player formats up to 18-ball eight-player activity sets for large family events. For buyers who want a portable American-made outdoor game playable by mixed-age groups with minimal setup, Murbles fills a gap in the domestic yard game market.
