I have a game I'm building and my magnets affect each other

Magnetic force can not be 'blocked' by material. Magnetic force will propagate through any non-ferrous material almost like it wasn't even there. The best way to get rid of magnetic force is to 'shunt' it, rather than block it. If you line your test area (refered to as shielding) with a ferrous material (like iron) the magnetic force will stay mostly in the ferrous material. This effectively 'blocks' magnetic force and gets you where you want to be. You may have to provide a ground connection to your shielding, depending on your application.

You can always try canceling it out with an equal and opposite magnetic force, like an electric coil wrapped around a magnet. Depending on the direction of the current in the coil, the magnetic field can either bolster or hinder the magnetic field of the permanent magnet it is wrapped around.

A thin sheet of beryllium. Its in the sheet metal. I'm not sure what other alloys are used exactly. It acts sort of like a heat sink for magnetism. The magnetism can't be really strong though.

Superconductors will block magnetism, but so far the materials can only achieve the state at about -200C.

You need to use mumetal:

Use IRON POWDER with glue.
