3. Setup and Basic Operation
The Everplay EP30 Magnetic Tile Building Block Set requires no complex setup. Simply remove the tiles from their packaging, and they are ready for immediate use. The tiles connect effortlessly through their embedded magnets.
3.1 Connecting Tiles
- Select two magnetic tiles you wish to connect.
- Bring the edges of the tiles close together. The internal magnets will attract, snapping the pieces into place.
- Experiment with different orientations to understand how the magnets align and connect.
3.2 Building Structures
Start by laying tiles flat to create 2D shapes, then gradually build upwards to form 3D structures. The strong magnets allow for stable constructions. The included idea booklet (not part of this manual) can offer inspiration, but the primary goal is free-form creative play.
