Object of the Game
In this dexterity game, you move your playing piece with a magnet under the game board. The heroes come to life as if by magic. Keep the ball away from your own goal and hit it into your opponent's goal.
The first player to score 6 points wins.
Setup
- Insert the center rod between the two feet. Then insert these into the designated slots on the underside of the game board.
- Place the game board on a table between the two players. Make sure the board stands level.
- Each player takes one hero and one control magnet. Place the heroes on the game board. Slide the control magnet under the board so that the two parts are magnetically connected.
- Using the magnet, each player can steer their hero on the underside of the board, within their own half of the playing field (up to the middle).
- Players should stabilize the board sideways with their other hand so that it does not slip.
Gameplay
The younger player begins. They place the ball on their side of the game board.
- The goal is to shoot the ball into the opponent's goal.
- Both players play at the same time and may move their figures at any time.
- The heroes may only be moved with the help of the magnets under the game board.
- Players may turn their figure and dribble with it, but should never forget to protect their own goal.
Scoring
- If a player scores a goal, their point marker is moved forward by one point.
- After a goal, the other player has the kickoff and places the ball in their own half of the playing field.
Conceding a Point
The opposing player receives 1 point if either of the following occurs:
- A player loses control of their hero and does not regain it with the control magnet, or
- A player's own hero falls into the goal opening.
End of the Game
The first player to reach 6 points wins the game.
For a longer match, you can play three or five games in a row. The player who wins the most games is the overall winner.
