Magnetic chess with wooden board

Magnetic chess is a simple idea with plenty of tension. Players take turns placing magnetic stones on the board, trying to keep them apart. If your stone causes others to snap together, you have to take them back, and the first to place all of their stones wins.

This version comes with a wooden board that gives the game a solid playing surface and a nicer look on the coffee table. Rounds are quick, the rules take a minute to explain, and the clack of stones jumping together always gets a reaction.

Great for families, teens and adults, and a fun gift for party hosts. For a smaller, travel-friendly version, see our magnetic stones game at House of Games in Lebanon.
