About the game
Magical Athlete is a board game from CMYK, designed by Richard Garfield and Takashi Ishida (2025). It plays 2–6 players in 30 minutes, for ages 6+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.7 out of 10 and call it light (1.2 / 5 weight).
Magical Athlete is a racing game of pure chaos! Roll a die and move your racer that many spaces. But! All of the racers have wacky, game-breaking abilities. Compete over four races and whoever has the most points wins!
- A Japanese cult classic, that uses many traditional game mechanics - like roll & move or losing a turn
- Updated with new racer powers and rules by Richard Garfield
- You'll feel like you built a powerful team of racers that let you skip over the spaces occupied by other players or can reroll their die, but what's this - your opponent has a character that always gets to move 5!?
