We just found DH's old Mouse Trap game from when he was a kid. DS was so excited to play it and we thought we had all the pieces, but one silver marble is missing. A regular glass marble does not work in its place. Has anyone seen metal marbles at a store? I saw that I can get one on eBay but would love to pick up from a store today or tomorrow. Thanks!

I haven't seen any, but I would think either a hobby store or a game store that includes older games might be your best bet.

We still have Mouse Trap at my mom's house but half the parts are missing. I can totally send you the marble but I probably won't be visiting her until the middle of March. I can send it to you if you still need it then...and I remember... :)

If you have one, take it to a hardware store and ask for a ball bearing of the same size. If don't have one to match to, bring something that the marble fits through in the game, so that the ball bearing replacement will work as well.
