To start, divide the magnets equally amount the players. Ante up! Place two magnets per player around the center of the playing field, unconnected to the other magnets.
Each player in turn tosses or rolls a magnet into the playing field in an attempt to form a cylinder with the other magnets.
All tossing is to be done from outside of the playing field.
Remove it from the playing field, without effecting any of the other magnets. Add it to your hand to continue play.
Once all the magnets have been retrieved the game is won!
To lower the level of difficulty pick up stacks of 3 or 2. To raise the level of difficulty limit the number of magnets you begin with. To change the skill level, thus duration, vary the diameter of the ring.
If a person who has run out of magnets wants to keep playing they can ask for charity.
Charity comes in many forms;
By luck: if caught just keep it.
By a collection of magnets that escape the playing field.
Or by grace: where by the person with the most magnets gives
half of their stack the person who has run out of magnets
...this way the game can coninue collectively.
