Jishaku
The Magnetic Action game
Fettdruck bitte beibehalten
Magnetic effects have lately appeared more and more frequently in games, but rarely magnetism itself is used as direct result in a game. Jishaku is doing exactly this.
18 magnetic stones and an asymmetric foam board with indentions are all there is in the way of components, the only mechanism is to place the magnetic pieces in an optimum way according to the demands of the respective version.
Each of the pieces has a magnetic field, a south pole and a north pole, accordingly they either attract other pieces or repel them. The rules offer three variants for playing with more than one player: Ich bin raus! – You alternate in placing a piece, when pieces attract each other you take all sticking together, if you are out of pieces you win. Eliminieren – You start with 9 magnets and place one onto the board alternately. When pieces attract each other during a move you get 1 point for each piece that you attracted or that did attract each other independently from the piece you just placed. Ansammlung – You alternate in placing magnets until 10 are on the board, then one more so that this attracts as many pieces as possible. Now you take all caught pieces and the one attracting them off the board, each caught piece is worth 1 point. If you are the first to reach 12 points, you win.
In the Solitaire version you try to place the maximum number of pieces that are possible without pieces attracting each other.
An elegant demonstration of physics, cautious approaches can end surprisingly fast in an unwanted Klack and some magnets are so strong that the turn over the one in the next intention despite this being placed to repel. And keeping your distance is not possible for very long on this board.
