Yikerz!

Despite paying an annual membership fee for the privilege of swanning around telling thickos how clever they are (duh), the brainboxes at Mensa sure know a thing or three about mind-mangling playthings. And they reckon Yikerz is one of the greatest!

Ludicrously addictive, this highly strategic game of magnetic mayhem is set to take over your life. The object is to get rid of your Yikerz pieces by placing them on an interchangeable board. But beware of getting too close to opponents’ Yikerz as magnetic attraction could cause them to ‘collapse’ into yours, forcing you to add them to your stash.

Once you get used to the whole repel/attract thing you can use it to your advantage, toppling and moving pieces already on the board. It’s seriously compelling – literally. Supremely portable, Yikerz can be played solo or with up to four players. And like so many of the greatest games it’s easy to play but hard to master. Your move!
