Ka'lide is a board game released in 2011 for 2–99 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Area Majority / Influence.
"Play one-on-one or in teams as you flick and flip your way to winning the all-new, exciting magnetic game Ka’lide! Flick your magnetic pucks to bend around your opponents’ or flip your pucks over and use their magnetic power to repel your opponent’s pucks off the mat and out of the game. Expertly create puck clusters and you could double, triple and even quadruple your score." Each player has a stack of magnetic pucks. The object for two (or more people in teams) to take turns flicking the pucks and land them on numbered scoring zones. The strategy is to flip the pucks over when flicking so that they will either pull/adhere to another puck on the field or repel a puck off of a scoring zone. When all pucks have been flicked, each player scores all pucks that are in their scoring zone on the board. Another way to describe it is head to head magnetic shuffleboard.
Ka'lide supports 2–99 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Ka'lide is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Ka'lide for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
