A magnetic table game is disclosed wherein gaming pieces are movably mounted to a substantially non-magnetic playing surface of a game by a magnetic coupling device. The coupling device comprises a base mounted to the gaming piece, the base having a housing, a first and second magnet and a first support element positioned between the first and second magnets and further positioned to support the base on the surface. The base is held on surface by a magnetic coupling positioned on the opposite side of the surface. The magnetic coupling has a housing, a first and second magnet and a second support element positioned between the first and second magnets of the magnetic coupling and further positioned to support the base on the surface. The housings and the support members of the base and magnetic coupling are configured to position the magnets of the base in close proximity to the magnets of the magnetic coupling when the base and magnetic coupling are mounted to each other on opposite sides of the surface. The support members are made of a low friction material and are rotatably mounted to their respective housings by bearings. The gaming pieces are manipulated by moving the magnetic couplings via long lever arms which are operatively coupled to the magnetic couplings by gear drives. The gear drives convert the torsion of the lever arms into the rotation of the magnetic couplings, which in turn cause a corresponding rotation of the corresponding player piece.
