Polarity!

A simple board game with beautiful design, extensive terminology (leaner, column, reaction, conversion, kiss, etc) and its own philosophy. Did I mention that it’s based on science? Magical science!

This game is based on the idea that polar opposite magnetic charges will repel. The object is to successfully balance one magnetic disc on another disc’s magnetic field (thus creating a “leaner”). Once you get good at this, you can start strategically placing your discs and leaners to cause your opponent to trigger a “reaction” (discs go crazy and stick to each other). This creates a “column” which means big points for whoever didn’t cause the reaction. It’s all very fun.

So naturally I brought it to work for everyone to enjoy. Here are some stills of our enjoyment (for your enjoyment).
