Setup & care.

Before you start.

Make room on a clean, flat surface. Keep the small parts together, and keep the magnets and adhesive away from children and pets.

Finishing the summoning.

Fitting and gluing the magnets takes 5–10 minutes. Leave the pieces to dry for 30 minutes, then peel the protective paper. Peeling takes under 5 minutes.

1. Make a holder with the paper still on. Place the acrylic top directly over the steel sheet. Leave its protective paper on while you glue and dry the pieces. The paper protects the acrylic from accidental glue, the acrylic keeps the magnets from touching the steel, and the steel keeps the pieces from jumping together.
2. Keep the magnets the same way round. Take every magnet from the same end of the stack and insert them all in the same orientation. That keeps the poles matched so the pieces repel one another.
3. Start with a few pieces. Put a small dot of gel glue in each piece and insert its magnet. The fit is tight. If glue squeezes out, use less on the next piece.
4. Wipe, then place. Wipe all excess glue from the bottom of each piece before placing it in a hole in the paper-covered acrylic top. Keep wiping the bottoms clean even with the paper there.
5. Finish the rest. Once you have a feel for the amount, you can dot the remaining pieces with glue all at once. The gel won’t run. Insert their magnets in the same orientation as the first few, wipe the bottoms clean, and place them in the holder.
6. Leave the pieces to dry. Give them 30 minutes in the holder, with the protective paper still on the acrylic.
7. Now peel the acrylic. Take the pieces out and remove the protective paper from both sides of the top acrylic. Each side should peel off in one piece. Peel the paper from all four acrylic side pieces, too.

Don’t use bare acrylic as the drying holder. Stray glue can stick a piece to the top.

Your first game.

Use USB-C power as specified in the supplied guide. Set up the pieces and use the board controls to play against LITCH or another person at the board.

Connect the optional app.

The board’s own controls are all you need to play. Connect the optional app over Bluetooth for Litchcraft animation, game review, additional settings, and easier configuration. You’ll also find lighting controls, firmware updates, and direct access to the LITCH manual.

Keep it looking good.

Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, clean cloth. Keep liquids out of the electronics and avoid abrasive cleaners on the acrylic, pieces, or coated trim.

Magnets and small parts.

Loose magnets are not toys. Follow the warnings supplied with the product. Keep the unused magnets, assembly parts, and adhesive secure and out of reach of children and pets.
