Description:

An intriguing name is just the beginning of this game's magnetic appeal! Jishaku (Japanese for 'magnet') uses the power of hematite magnets and a unique game board to shape an unpredictable force-field game that rivals chess in strategy, entertainment, and educational value.

Each of the variably sized 'stones' is magnetic on the top, bottom, and sides, making for plenty of surprises as players attempt to place their stones on the board without attracting others (which are then added to that player's collection of stones). The first one to run out of stones is the winner, and possible strategies to achieve this include 'edges first,' 'larger stones first,' and 'flat side down.' But beware - the magnets can jump at any time, making Jishaku a game of both planning and surprise for ages eight and up.

5GREAT GAME!  Feb 14, 2010
I saw this game advertised on the news and l had to have it, l gave it to my nephews for xmas and they loved it, l truly recommend it.

5Quite possibly the greatest game ever  Feb 04, 2010
I must say, I have played every game on the market over the years and this is hands down the most fun. My son even used it in his science fair and came up with 2nd place. Educational and Fun. We play this game every week and it never gets old, my kids even play this before video games from time to time, that says alot!!!

5Fun & Exciting  Feb 04, 2010
I have purchased this game for both the young & old, & both alike have equal amounts of fun playing the game. The excitment of the magnets literally moving across the playing board is only part of the fun. I truly enjoy the reactions from players when they try to place one magnet in the paying field and end up attracting the other magnets around them to their piece, it usually brings a scream or giggle even to those who know what will happen! Additionally I like that its educational yet fun, its almost a sneaky way to have a science lesson with the younger players while they enjoy a fun exciting fast paced game! I think its a great game for families to enjoy on family game night and quite affordable as well!

5Exciting for all ages  Jan 30, 2010
Have given this to children ages 6-12. (Small magnetic parts) But the most fun was to give it to a disabled vet in a nursing home! It is short enough a game that he can get visitors, nurses, and aides involved. It is helping his small motor muscle development. It is exciting and all chance, but people explode with enjoyment!

5Great Game!  Jan 18, 2010
I received this game as a gift and loved it! I then bought three and gave them as gifts. Everyone enjoys playing, no matter what the ages. Just about the time you think you know how to win, your opponent does.
