About this board game

RattleSnake is a quick dexterity and strategy game for 2–4 players, with games lasting about 15 minutes. Players compete to be the first to place all their dangerous magnetic “snake eggs” on the board.

Each move calls for care and attention. Place the wrong egg, and the funny magnetic pieces may clash, forcing you to pick them all up. This simple but entertaining mechanism gives every placement a moment of tension while keeping the game easy to learn.

Designed for kids of all ages, RattleSnake combines strategy with dexterity in a compact family experience. It is suitable for parents and younger players, while also offering seasoned gamers a fresh, quick dexterity game.

  • For 2–4 players
  • Approximately 15 minutes per game
  • Magnetic “snake egg” pieces
  • Strategy and dexterity gameplay

The game includes 12 magnets, a special die, a playing board, and a rulebook. The special magnetic pieces are the centerpiece of play: players must manage their placements carefully as they work toward getting rid of all their eggs first.

Published in 2007, RattleSnake was Nexus’s first game aimed at family entertainment. With its straightforward objective, playful theme, and surprising magnetic clashes, RattleSnake offers an accessible challenge that can be enjoyed across generations.
