## What is Lodemate?

Chess, with magnets under the board.

Iron pieces get pulled. Wooden ones don't. After every move, each magnet drags the nearest iron piece on its line right up beside it, so one quiet move can set off a chain reaction that ends in mate.

Hold a piece over a square and the board shows you what the magnets will do before you let go.

• 64 puzzles in 13 worlds, each with exactly one first move that works
• Something new in every world: coils, lodestones, repulsors, shields, levers, poles, mine carts and more
• Deep Lode: drop a piece down a shaft and bring it back up changed
• A new puzzle every day, a streak to keep, and a Home Screen widget
• Whole games against the engine or a friend on the same device

The first three worlds, today's puzzle and two-player games are free, along with the engine on two arenas. Lodemate Full is a one-time purchase that opens Worlds 4 to 13, every arena against the engine at all four strengths, game review and every past daily puzzle. Two optional packs add board styles and piece sets.
