Woopie Magnetic Balls is a gripping strategy game for ages 9 and up and adults: place the balls so the magnets do not pull them together.

In this magnetic board game every move needs careful thinking, as the smallest mistake can change the whole game. Players get an equal number of magnetic balls and take turns placing them on the board. If any balls snap together while placing, the player must take them all back – including any that stick while collecting! The first to get rid of all their balls wins. Up to 4 players can join, and the game shows the basics of magnetism hands-on. Included are 20 magnetic balls, a board with 4 shelves and a bag for the balls.

What your child develops

• Logical thinking. Predict how the magnets will react.
• Precise movement. Each ball is placed very carefully.
• Creativity. Every game needs a new tactic.
• Patience. Rushing does not help here.

How to play

Share the balls equally and take turns placing them. When balls snap together they go back – the first with none left wins.

After playing, talk about why magnets attract and how distance affects the pull.
