Jishaku - Japanese Game Review and Giveaway

My Family Review:
Jishaku is a powerful magnet game with lot of scream, fun and laugh with your family or friends. It's easy to play but dont think the way like me. Jishaku is a Japanese word for magnet. Jishaku uses finely polished hematite magnets for playing pieces.. It's a unique game with its magnetic attraction. The game includes 18 magnetic stones and storage bag, force field game base and instructions. The magnetic stones are so strong and powerful. You can feel the power when you carefully place the magnet in the hole of foam base. All these magnets have North and South poles. You can't expect when your magnet will react with the other magnets. If your piece attaches to other magnets, you have to take them all. The goal of the game is to place magnets onto the game base - without letting any magnets connect. The first player to run out of pieces is the winner. You will have more fun to play this game but you dont mind losing and love to play it again and again. There are several variations of the game but the most popular is "I'm Out".

Doctor of Chiropractic Services / Homeopathic Treatment Specialist recommends this game as our blood system has iron within the blood. When the blood is exposed to a magnetic field of the proper type, the exposure stimulates the blood system and encourages a greater level of healing. Hematite is an iron oxide, metallic, opaque stone which is generally found in iron-mining areas.

Jishaku™ is a patent-pending, strategy game like chess or checkers except that it has an additional feature that takes it one step further, and it can be played virtually anywhere. Now that may not push your WOW! button yet, but unlike chess, there is an element of surprise when the magnets of the game jump out of position, without warning! You can rest assured of one thing for sure with Jishaku™. First comes the element of surprise, and then plenty of laughs are to follow as two or more players try to beat force fields with strategic thinking and with careful and precise handling of the game’s magnetic stones. The hilarious unpredictability of the game adds an entirely new dimension to play. The amazing aspect of the game is it's ability to bring families and generations together, revitalizing family game nights once again!
