Playing with marbles for takes

Q: I have a question regarding playing with marbles for takes. This means that the winner gets the marbles of the loser. Does this have any association with gambling? If so, is it permissible to play like that?

A: Yes, it is gambling.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
