Description

Simple dexterity games are great to have in your collection because you can play them with pretty much any group even with young children, and Kluster couldn’t be any simpler. The game is made up of 24 highly magnetic stones and a string loop, the rules can be taught in under a minute and the game is hilarious every time we bring it out. The 24 stones are divided equally between players and the loop is placed in the centre of the table. Players take turns in placing their stones in the loop and if they force two or more stones to connect they must add them to their supply, the first person to rid themselves of all of their stones is the winner. Players are allowed to use the stone in their hand to move the string and change the shape of the playing area, they’re also allowed to attempt to move other stones using the magnetism of the stone in their hand. If you want to be really mean then you can stand the stone on its end making it more volatile to the influence of other stones. There’s no way that you can possibly fit all 24 stones in the loop so at some point somebody’s turn is going to end in disaster. Every time I’ve played this game it’s been absolutely hilarious, there’s something about Kluster that makes people pull the funniest faces as they carefully lower their stone into the loop. It’s a great filler, fun to play with kids and even better to play with drunks. This game is an absolute gem, and unlike anything else in my collection.
