A board game at ThinkGeek? Does it have integrated LED pieces? Is it USB? Can you use it
as an optical mouse pad? The answer, of course, is no. But we don't care. Polarity is just one of the simplest board games we have even seen, yet it's also one of the most intriguing we've ever played. Requiring some serious strategic thinking, and an ounce of dexterity to master, this futuristic boardgame with 53 magnetic discs and unique hovering gameplay is going to get you excited again about having fun while not using a computer. We promise.
What's the Goal?
Utilizing the forces of magnetism, players take turns placing hovering magnetic discs on the board in order to impose chaos on their opponent. This chaos, which causes discs that are in play to come together in a flash of magnetic frenzy, results in scoring opportunities. Stacks of more than one disc (towers) are counted as points and the player with the most points at the end of a game wins. Those are the basics.
Your friends will think that you graduated from the nearest Jedi Academy as you demonstrate your ability to place hovering magnetic discs into play in this highly addictive strategy board game. And as you Force your opponent to introduce chaos into his gameplay, you'll start to believe it too.
If you are looking for a gaming experience that will keep you playing again and again, Polarity is for you. It's simple to pick up and play (once you get the hang of playing 'hovering' pieces) but it promises to challenge you for years as you hone your skills and master the forces of magnetism.
Each Polarity set comes with the following:
- 53 Magnetic Discs (52 Black & White Playing Discs and 1 Red Center Disc)
- 1 Canvas Carry Bag (with multi-purpose leather tie)
- 1 Canvas Play Mat
- 1 Instruction Booklet
Warning: Polarity is seriously habit-forming. This unique board game, which uses hovering magnets, chaos theory and strategic planning, may be hard to stop playing once you start. You have been warned!
