Rattlesnake

A quick magnetic dexterity game of dropping snake eggs onto a board without letting the magnets snap together.

A quick, giggly dexterity game of dropping magnetic snake eggs onto a board without letting them snap together. Roll the die, place an egg, and pray the magnets do not clash, because if they do you scoop them all back up. First to place all your eggs wins.

Who it's for

Families and mixed-age tables wanting a quick, physical, laugh-out-loud dexterity filler.

Not for you if…

You want strategy or depth, or dislike luck and fine-motor challenges. It is very light and repetitive, more toy than game for serious players.

Vibe's take

Tactile and giggly, a steady-hand nerve test where you judge invisible magnetic pull and groan when your eggs suddenly leap and clash.
