Players attempt to be the first person to move from the start of the board puzzle piece to the end of board. The game is played in at least three phases, with each phase utilizing different game pieces. Phase one consists of creating a puzzle pattern by placing background puzzle pieces on the puzzle game board and connecting background puzzle pieces already on the board. Phase two consists of placing color overlay puzzle pieces on top of the background puzzle pieces that make up the puzzle pattern. Phase three is accomplished by each player selecting a playing card and then either strategically migrating their creature by moving contiguously between the creature spots or by jumping from a color overlay creature spot to a different color overlay creature spot, as described on the playing card selected. The game ends when a player moves off the end of board.

The game consists of a planar game board (10), a series of vertically extended pegs (18) along a track, and magnetic game pieces (20) that freely slide down pegs (18). Each player selects a plurality of game pieces (20) of one color to differentiate from other players' game pieces (20). The object of the game is to be the first player to move all of his game pieces (20) from start (14) to finish (16). Players, in turn, roll dice, a chance device, and move game pieces (20) as indicated. Players' magnetic game pieces (20) interact in exciting and unexpected ways. A game piece (20) landing on a peg (18) above another game piece (20) will either attract and capture, or repel and levitate, depending on their relative magnetic orientations, another element of chance. When a game piece lands on particular pegs (18) or tiles (12), the player draws a random card, another element of chance, which directs surprise moves such as forward, backward or flipping.
