Fields of Force is a science-based tabletop game that combines: magnetism, gravity, Planetary Orbits, and light effects into a unique physical experience. Players use specially designed magnetic “PowerWheels” on a glass game board, where every throw is influenced by the Earth's magnetic field. The game integrates concepts from geophysics, astrophysics, and physics, allowing players to observe real natural forces while playing. The game includes several modes, each inspired by natural phenomena: PLANET MODE – Use the Earth's Magnetic Field and find the right trajectory to hit the pins! DEVICES MODE – Two independent electronic devices, placed under the FutuRing – The 7th Symbol and The Quantum Eye – will add many layers of difficulty! GRAVITY MODE – An extremely challenging mode that combines the Earth's Magnetic Field with Gravity! PORTALS MODE – Face the Guardian of the Portals, enter the chambers, and activate the 7th Symbol! SLALOM MODE – Can you guide the PowerWheel with the Controller, using only invisible Magnetism? EQUILIBRIUM MODE – And what if, on top of everything, we added the instability of a Tilting Plane? CHALLENGE MODE – Compete against an opponent on the FutuRing: Fields of Soccer – Double Planet – Speed of Force – Double Slalom. Game elements include fluorescent StarPins and AstroPins, PowerWheels, Magnetic Controllers with neodymium cubes, and a LED-lit board (FutuRing) designed for dark play sessions. All components are hand-painted with photo-reactive paint, glowing vividly under UV or blue light, creating a striking visual effect. Importantly, players don't need to know any science in advance to enjoy the game. The scientific concepts are not prerequisites-they emerge naturally through play, because they are simply the rules themselves. As a result, players learn by doing: the more they play, the more they discover. Beyond entertainment, Fields of Force develops motor precision, hand–eye coordination, and strategic thinking. Each throw is both a game action and a miniature scientific experiment, showing how natural forces shape motion and interaction. This game is for everyone: Kids, Adults, and Nerds/Scientists But careful - we're not saying: "It's so easy that even a child could do it, and of course everyone else too!" Nope. This is something entirely different. -description from the designer
