If your curious mind is like mine you’ve probably spent some time playing with magnets because of how attractive they are. Pun intended. I’m not talking about those weak refrigerator magnets, I’m talking about the ones that slam together, or push away when too close. That’s where the real fun is, and I think this game incorporates those basic factors into a habit forming good time.

The Polarity Game is part skill and part strategy. The skill portion is easy to overcome with a little practice, and then you can delve into the strategy part for some long lasting fun. The goal is to get more of the magnetic pieces to stack in your favor than your opponent. This is difficult to do because of the chaos that ensues when dealing with multiple magnetic fields on the board.

After reading the well written description at ThinkGeek and the user reviews at Are You Game I get the feeling this game will stay in our game closet for years to come.
