PsyX Games Breathes Fresh Air Into The Abstract Strategy Games Genre – MagnetX™

MagnetX™ is a brand new type of board game where hand-eye coordination and strategy interact in a game of skill that breathes fresh air in the old genre of abstract strategy games.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) April 23, 2008 -- PsyX Games is proud to present MagnetX™, at the GAMA Trade Show. Abstract strategy games abound, MagnetX™ challenges the old genre by adding unique game-play that intersects physical senses with mental challenge. The pieces of the game feel alive as they twist, turn, and slide while players place highly magnetic stones strategically on the game board. Even spectators are entertained by the surprising action of stones from players trying to outwit each other with one player ultimately victorious.

The concept was created and play tested by Al Wenzl in the summer of 2005 during a family trip. It was left to rest with many other interesting games he has created until Bruce Smith, a long time friend, convinced him to start a company to produce the games, with MagnetX™ selected as the first. Together they designed the game components, rules, and packaging and will be introducing many more games in the future.

“During our first public introduction of the game at DunDraCon 32, we had a great time both showing and playing MagnetX™ with fellow gamers,” says Bruce Smith. “There was an incredible turnout for the tournament and many people visiting us in the Dealer room. We couldn't have asked for a better reception!”

MagnetX™ is a game of skill where polished magnetic hematite stones are placed on a playing field that has been specifically designed to maximize interaction of the stones. Each stone placed must not touch any other stone. This is the basic rule of the game. Both basic and advances rules are available that test different types of strategy and skill. Advanced play introduces more strategy and adds dynamics to game play. “When you look at MagnetX™ the first time, it looks interesting and easy. But once you play you quickly discover the truth that it has subtle strategy and is addicting in its difficulty. The better you think you are, the harder it can get,” comments Al Wenzl.

With the success and great feedback we have had with MagnetX™, PsyX Games is looking forward to working with the retailers and distributors attending GAMA. Inquires about MagnetX™ or future PsyX Games products may be directed to Al Wenzl through our website.
