Marble Board Game with Center Circle & 12 Spots per Side: Chinese Checkers

The game is Chinese Checkers (or Sternhalma).

Why It Matches Your Description

• Marbles: 10 per player (60 total), usually glass/plastic.
• Star-shaped board: Central hexagon (the "circle") with 6 points — each point is a "home star" with 10 holes (not 12). Wait — let's clarify.

⚠️ Correction: It's 10 Holes per Point, Not 12

Standard Chinese Checkers board:

• Central hexagon: 61 holes (often called the "circle").
• 6 star points: Each has 10 holes in triangular arrangement (1+2+3+4).
• Total: 121 holes.
• 4 players use 4 opposite points (10 each). 6-player uses all 6.

Games with 12 Spots per Side?

• Aggravation / Wahoo / Trouble: Cross-shaped track, 4 arms, ~12-16 spaces per arm. Center "safe zone." But uses dice, not marbles in star.
• Parcheesi / Ludo: Cross track, 12-16 spaces per arm. Pawns, not marbles.
• Marble Chase / Fast Track: Cards + marbles on cross track.
• Custom / Vintage games: Some 1950s-60s marble games had 12-hole stars.

Chinese Checkers Rules (Quick)

1. Move one marble to adjacent hole OR hop over adjacent marble (any color) to empty hole beyond. Chain hops allowed.
2. Goal: Move all 10 marbles from your start star to opposite star.
3. First to fill destination star wins.

If It's Definitely 12 Holes per Point

Could be a variant board (some travel sets compress to 12 per star) or a different game like Star Checkers or a solitaire marble puzzle (Peg Solitaire has 33 holes, cross-shaped).

Search "Chinese Checkers board layout" — if that's it, the "12" is a misremembered 10. If not, describe the track shape (star vs. cross) and I'll identify it!
