KLASK

About this board game

KLASK is a two-player magnetic table game that takes about 10 minutes to play. Set on a ball-field-shaped board, it challenges each player to guide a black magnetic piece and shoot a small red ball into the opponent’s goal.

Each player controls their piece from beneath the board using a large magnet connected to the small magnet on the playing surface. Move the piece around the field, push the ball past the three white magnetic obstacles, and aim for the deep goal hole at the opposite end.

The obstacles create an additional danger. If two or all three white pieces stick to your opponent’s gaming piece, you score a point. A point is also scored when the ball stays in the opponent’s goal, when the opponent pulls their piece into their own goal, or when they lose their piece.

• Players: 2
• Playing time: about 10 minutes
• Release year: 2014
• Key components: a game board, two magnetic gaming pieces, three white magnetic obstacles, a red ball, and scoring coins

At the start, place the board between the players, position the three white pieces on their marked fields, and put two coins in each scoring slot beside the zero. The ball begins in a corner start field, and the youngest player takes the first turn.

Whenever a point is scored, move the scoring coin forward and return the white pieces to their marked fields. The player who did not score places the ball in their corner start field. If the ball leaves the board, it returns to the corner start field in the half from which it fell.

In KLASK, careful movement matters: an eager pull can send your own gaming piece into your goal. The first player to reach the KLASK field wins.
