Picked up a little driving game, at a thrift shop back in the 60s, that worked on this principle. A magnet under the board was controlled by a steering wheel and unwieldy extending parallelograms (the sort that can somehow support a boxing glove in a 40s cartoon), and when I say ‘controlled,’ I mean that the game may have been worth a quarter ultimately for the life lessons I learned from looking at its construction, but as a game, on its own merits, it was a Fail.

I guess opposites do attract! …What?
Someone call Magneto! Guess he’s… out of a job?
Look, I don’t have a stockpile of magnet puns available, ok? Where’d she get that oversized magnet anyway, the Acme Corporation??
