Object

To use your magnetic puck to control scoring zones on the playfield. First player to exactly 20 points is the winner.

Play

Each player takes 3 magnetic pucks in their chosen color, black or gold.
Using the magnetic yoke, players take it in turn to fire their pucks one at a time at the various scoring zones on the playfield.
Zones marked 3 are worth 3 points, zones marked 2 are worth 2, and so on.
If the puck is not completely within a zone, whichever zone the majority of the puck resides in is the zone for which it is scored.
Once both players have played all 3 of their pucks, the score is tallied, pucks are gathered, and if no one has won, the player to go last this round now goes first.

Scoring

Each zone can only be scored by one player per round.
A zone is scored by the player controlling the majority of the pucks in that zone.
- For example: if Gold has 2 pucks in Zone 3 and Black has 1, Gold scores 3 points for that zone, and Black scores 0.
Multiple pucks of the same color in a single zone only count for majority and not as a score multiplier. The score for controlling a zone is always the number printed on that zone.
A player is, however, allowed to score both unique zones of the same value in a round.
- For example: if Black has control of both Zones 2, Black's score is 4 points for those zones—2 points for each Zone 2 that Black controls.
The highest possible score for a player in a round is therefore 8 points.
A zone with no majority is not scored for either player.

Irregularities

If a puck leaves the playfield area, the puck is removed from play.
If a puck becomes flipped or stands on edge, the puck is removed from play.
If a puck becomes stuck to a magnet embedded in the playfield, the puck is removed from play.
If a puck becomes stuck to another puck, both pucks are removed from play.

Winning

The first player to score exactly 20 points is the winner of the game.
If a player scores in excess of 20 in a given round, that player's score for that round is ignored and play continues.
- For example: if Gold's score at the beginning of a round is 18, and Gold scores 4 points in that round, Gold's score remains 18 points, and another round is played.
