Medieval Marbles

At the Minstrel's Court were various games that would have been played in the Middle Ages. Medieval marbles were made of clay, rather than glass. This was because at that time the technology was there to make glass (there are glass counters and tokens for games), but they did not yet know how to make round glass. They also couldn't yet make glass large enough and flat enough for windows, hence bullseye panes.
