Abstract: A magnetic projectile game system is provided. The system includes a platform having a panel with an inclined target surface and includes one or more magnetic attractive materials. The game system also includes one or more magnetic projectiles. The magnetic projectiles have a head member and a respective tail member. The head member includes a magnetic attractive component and a shock absorbing member configured and arranged to prevent the magnetic attractive component from directly contacting the target surface when head member contacts the target surface. When the magnetic projectile contacts the target surface, magnetic attraction helps hold the magnetic projectile in place on the target surface of the target platform. In various implementations the shock absorbing material may help to prevent damage from the impact, assist in adhesion of the magnetic projectile to the target surface, and/or reduce noise from the impact.
