JISHAKU Magnetic Stones Games

Jishaku (the name is Japanese for "magnet") starts out simply – just place a magnetic hematite stone on the dimpled foam game board without dislodging the rest. But the more stones you place on the board, the trickier it gets as the magnets repel and attract in surprising ways. One wrong move and you'll get "stoned" – as the magnets' attraction pulls them clicking and clattering into a clump of defeat. Fast-paced entertainment for one to three players. Includes 18 beautifully polished hematite stone magnets, a dimpled foam game base and storage pouch for game pieces. Instructions include multiple ways to play. Recommended for ages 14 and up.  9.75" x 6" x 1.75" / 24.8 x 15.2 x 4.4cm.

from 14 years - Adult
