Why do Magna-Tiles not repel?
Magnets are polarized with a NORTH and a SOUTH pole. In order for any two magnets to connect, the North pole of one magnet and the South pole of the other need to align. If you try and connect two magnets using both North poles or both South poles, they will resist and it’s impossible to force them together!
