For example, suppose there are 9 players. After the marble with value 0
is placed in the middle, each player (shown in square brackets) takes a turn. The result of each of those turns would produce circles of marbles like this, where clockwise is to the right and the resulting current marble is in parentheses:
[-] (0)
[1] 0 (1)
[2] 0 (2) 1
[3] 0 2 1 (3)
[4] 0 (4) 2 1 3
