ThinkGeek is selling a new board game called Polarity, a strategy game that utilizes hovering magnetic discs. While I have a natural inclination to compare it to Pente or Othello, the game play promises a unique experience:
Utilizing the forces of magnetism, players take turns placing hovering magnetic discs on the board in order to impose chaos on their opponent. This chaos, which causes discs that are in play to come together in a flash of magnetic frenzy, results in scoring opportunities. Stacks of more than one disc (towers) are counted as points and the player with the most points at the end of a game wins. Those are the basics.

Will do! ThinkGeek is out of stock, though they told me that they would receive more around the 17th of September. I plan to purchase a copy once they are available, and will post a review after I’ve had a chance to play a few rounds with friends and family.
