Description
Jishaku is a quick and simple game that's all about magnets and strategy. Designed by Steve Velte and published in 2008, it's a great option for two players looking for a fun and fast-paced experience. The game rules can be explained in no time, and each playthrough takes just 15 minutes, making it perfect for a casual game night or a quick break. In Jishaku, players take turns placing hematite magnets onto a foam playing field, trying to outmaneuver each other in one of three different games. The goal is either to prevent the magnets from attaching to one another or to encourage them to connect, requiring a combination of abstract strategy and dexterity. With its unique blend of action and planning, Jishaku is a game that will keep you on your toes and leave you wanting more.
