Fancy shooting marbles is a game that has been around for centuries. It involves shooting marbles from a distance, usually with a slingshot, in order to hit a target. The term 'fancy shooting marbles' is derived from the fact that players often use marbles of different colors and sizes to create a more visually appealing game. TAWS is an acronym for 'TAW, ' which is the name of the marble used in the game.
