Description
How good are your communication skills? How about your manual dexterity? In Mag-O-Mag, players team up as "helpers" and "drivers" as they attempt to guide a colored magnet through 3 challenging games. The helper has a view of the map: they see where the magnet is, and where it needs to go. The driver controls the magnet but must rely exclusively on the helper to understand where to move it, lest it fall off the map!
Three games are included. "Golf" is all about estimating distances, as the helper illustrates the distance the driver needs to "shoot" to get into a hole. "Jungle Race" is a fast-paced game of communication in which the driver directs the magnet around precarious precipices while being directed - and on a time limit! "Stone-age Gatherer" combines both for a tactical, time-limited game about gathering resources. Each game can be played cooperatively or competitively, but you can also use the boards to make up your own games! Above all, communication and calm fingers will prevail. For 2-4 players; ~30-minute playtime.
Publisher's Description of Mag-O-Mag The Magnetic Labyrinth
This innovative vertical holder with interchangeable game boards and magnetic game pieces allows you to play three fun, action-packed games. The games are played in teams, playing one at a time. One teammate must move the guide magnet on the backside of the game board, while the other teammate sees the game magnet move on the front of the board. This teammate must communicate with the teammate controlling the magnet and tell him or her how to move the magnet to complete the game challenge without the magnet falling off or going to the wrong spot.
In the racing game, the object is speed: Which team can complete the course the fastest? But make sure you don't crash!
In the golf game, the object is precision: How many strokes does the team need to take to reach the hole? But be careful, there are traps everywhere!
In the treasure hunt game, players must collect as many gems as possible in a given time. Who can amass the most valuable treasure?
Includes cooperative gamevariations and special rules for two-player games.
