The piece of string which defines the boundaries is just not quite big enough (or at least it seems that way) and someone will undoubtedly end up making a mistake. You can also carefully manipulate the boundaries but this comes with its own risks and moving already placed magnets. Kluster is a one to four player abstract game designed by Paula Henning and Robert Henning and published by Boarderline Editions. Kluster is all about magnets and a piece of string. What is so exciting about magnets and a piece of string I hear you cry. Well, surprisingly a lot actually and a lot of laughs and groans can be found in this box of random things.
