was really different from 3M's JATI. Decided that two
"cue" magnets were sufficiently difficult to maneuver.
[Small diagram of 3 circles - one red, two white.]
If the player's magnet goes off it is put, at the
start of the next turn, on a marked space immediately back
of the falling off position. If the cue magnet goes off the
player's magnet stays where it is. Provide a measuring device.
If at the start of a player's turn, an opponent's
magnet is too close behind it, the player must place the
cues behind the opponent's magnet and then push it aside.
