Disclosed is a gaming unit for a gaming system, the gaming system comprising the gaming unit and a plurality of playing pieces, each playing piece of the plurality of playing pieces comprising a magnet and having an identifier. The gaming unit comprises: a play zone for arranging one or more playing pieces of the plurality of playing pieces on the gaming unit; a control unit; and a first magnetic unit configured to generate or alter a magnetic field for magnetically affecting one or more playing pieces arranged in the play zone. The first magnetic unit being operationally connected to the control unit. The control unit is configured to detect the identifier of a playing piece arranged in the play zone and responsive to the detection of one more particular identifiers generate a control signal controlling the first magnetic unit to generate or alter a magnetic field thereby magnetically affecting one or more playing pieces in the play zone.

The game board is configured to accommodate the plurality of game pieces and the game board is provided with an exit. The prompter is configured to indicate that a game of the klotski game is over when the decisive game piece is moved to a position corresponding to the exit on the game board.

A magnetic alignment system for three-dimensional building includes plates with an upper surface and a lower surface, locking members coupleable to the lower surface of the plate, magnetic couplers capable of being removably attachable to the lower surface of the plate via the locking members and fasteners. The plates may be coupled to tiles, with the tiles configured to receive corner fasteners so that cuboidal playing pieces may be created.

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 spaces (12), the player draws a random card, another element of chance, which directs surprise moves such as forward, backward or flipping.

A game piece assembly includes: a front surface formed in a first predetermined shape and including a predetermined number of pips, a back surface formed in a second predetermined shape, a side surface extending between the front and back surfaces, wherein the front surface, the back surface and the side surface define a hollow space that is configured to hold a prize therein in a closed configuration.

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.
