Roger Von Oech had a good thing going, but he didn't stop. Why not add more pieces and more shapes to create a bigger and better design? Done. Introducing the BIG Ball of Whacks! Two new pyramid-shaped pieces introduce a new way to stimulate your thinking. Dividing the 30-sided rhombic triacontahedron into 36 magnetic pyramids gives you three different shapes: Whacks, Flat-Whacks, and Half-Whacks. Containing 197 rare earth magnets, 36 specially shaped pieces "click" together magnetically to form an endless variety of geometric shapes, quirky structures or a perfect rhombic triacontahedron.
