The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.

One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.

Polarity: A Truly Magnetic Board Game

Polarity

Polarity isn't a new game -- it was created by Douglas Seaton waaay back in 1986. It was reintroduced in 2005 and made About.com's Top 10 Best Board Games of 2005 list. It's not electronic, it's not computerized, but yet it's irresistible. The game is played with 53 magnetic discs that often hover above the board at awkward angles.

Here's Temple Games' overview: "Utilizing the forces of magnetism, players take turns placing hovering magnetic discs on the board in order to impose chaos on their opponent. This chaos, which causes discs that are in play to come together in a flash of magnetic frenzy, results in scoring opportunities. Stacks of more than one disc (towers) are counted as points and the player with the most points at the end of a game wins."
