The game Magical Athlete seems to have a hold on anyone it teach it to! 😆 @cmyk.games

I'm late to the party on "No Thanks" Just picked up the re-release by @cmyk.games First simple card game I've played that had at least 4 "Oh wait, I'm doing this wrong!" moments. Not in terms of rules, but in strategies.

CMYK has released two more titles in their Magenta series, aggressively pink big-box versions of small-box classics. The pair, No Thanks! and I'm Out, also happen to be my favorite Magentas thus far. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/10/27/n...

We just launched TWO new Magenta titles: the instant classic I'm Out and the 20+ year old classic No Thanks! No Thanks: www.cmyk.games/collections/... I'm Out: www.cmyk.games/collections/...

If you told me a few years ago that I'd have an opportunity to review a new edition of Magical Athlete, I'd have called you a liar. If you followed up by telling me it was from @cmyk.games and was perfect in every discernible way, I'd have asked who put you up to this. pixeldie.com/2025/10/08/m...

We finally did it. After 10 years, we remade Monikers from scratch: new art, new card design, updated rules—no points!—and a huge content refresh: www.cmyk.games/collections/...

I love how the components for @cmyk.games’ Magical Atheletes are stored in paper bags instead of plastic. Not a single throwaway or even reused piece of plastic inside the box! Other game publishers, please imitate!

🏃‍♂️✨ We played Magical Athlete and it was delightful! Players draft characters with unique powers, then race them in fast-paced heats. Who knew a snake could outrun an Alchemist? 🎨 Loved the vibrant art, clever character design, and the eco-friendly packaging. Big win all around! ♻️💖 @cmyk.games

um holy shit what CMYK is publishing MAGICAL ATHLETE with an updated design by Richard Garfield !??! This is one of the stone cold unpurchasble classics. how the heck did they manage to track down the rights to this???? instant order from me. cc @jessefuchs.bsky.social www.cmyk.games/products/mag...

Magical Athlete is back and better than ever. This game is full of loud laughter, crazy abilities, and more joy than a hundred other games combined. It is perfect. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/09/16/m...

There are only so many times you get to use the term "cult classic" with regards to board games but it's appropriate for Magical Athlete. It's a lighter game, but the appeal here is similar to Cosmic Encounter -- just a pure celebration of modular rules bouncing around & colliding with each other.

I was fortunate to playtest this new edition of my favorite game, and I'm happy to report that it is, somehow, even better now Magical Athlete is pure joy, the game that has given us the most laughs of any box out there. Nearly terminal levels of whimsy. Perfect.

I'm very envious that @cmyk.games has brought back Magical Athlete (gosh I wanted to). Games like this (and, quite frankly, Thunder Road: Vendetta) showcase that "roll and move" isn't inherently a bad thing. I also love the retro vibe illustration approach. I can't wait to try this new edition.

Magical Athlete is back after 22 years. This is board gaming reduced to its base elements, and the result is electric. The new edition from CMYK is perfect, maybe the best update of a game I've ever seen. My review: playerelimination.com/2025/09/16/g...

Boy have we been excited to share this one!! Check out our thoughts on @cmyk.games new version of the legendary, the infamous…Magical Athlete!! youtu.be/VEyf6ij8pYE?... #boardgames

Hot Streak is a wacky betting game from @cmyk.games that has been a big hit this summer—I've taught it to so many people and we've had a blast with it. geekdad.com/2025/09/hot-...

The problem with @cmyk.games 's "Hot Streak" is that the minute it hits the table at game day, no one wants to play anything but Hot Streak 🤔 www.cmyk.games/collections/...

Hot Streakers: Jon and Alex are doing a Reddit AMA right now! www.reddit.com/r/boardgames...

Why bet on horses when you can bet on D-list mascots? Hot Streak is a revelation. Rarely is a game equal parts absurd and committed. My review: playerelimination.com/2025/06/16/i...

Hurley at the Guardians game wondering when they will hold the hot dog race.

Wilmot’s Warehouse: they dang put my man Wilmot in a board game! Captured the spirit of the original perfectly. We won in 2:30 or so, which wasn’t bad? Our mnemonic was a dog nurse eating cheese seeds on a volcano planet.

This is hands down my favorite race/betting/party game. I've played it a handful of times at different events over the last few months and every one has been a blast. It a perfect depiction of mascot races down to the human eyes inside the costumes.

I played this at PAXU and it’s an absolute blast. If you host large game nights that can get a little silly, this is an instant buy. Even the packaging is genius: the board rolls out of the box like a venetian blind. I didn’t know anything else about the game but when I saw that I had to have it.

A new review up on @meeplemountain.com today, a raging endorsement of Hot Streak from @perryjon.bsky.social and @cmyk.games. I run a large games gathering every week at work, and let me tell you, the people, they love it. www.meeplemountain.com/reviews/hot-...

Announced: Hot Streak is a racing game in which you don't control any of the racers — only your bets on these odd mascot! Well, and one card that you slip inside the racing deck. Details on this new release from Jon Perry and CMYK: boardgamegeek.com/blog/1/blogp... —WEM

Oh man, speaking of mascot games! I played this in December and it was an uproariously good time. Ask me about betting it all on two mascots and then having one of them fall down and then the other one trips over the first one

Have you been looking for an excuse to have friends over and scream at a man in a hot dog suit? You're in luck: we just announced CMYK's latest party game: HOT STREAK! www.cmyk.games/products/hot...

Daybreak, Wavelength publisher CMYK doubles down on card games with Magenta

Announcing MAGENTA: our new card game line! www.cmyk.games/collections/...

Played my third game of Wilmots Warehouse by @cmyk.games last night. One of the games magic tricks is that I STILL remember each story we created perfectly. Such an amazing group experience.

Wilmot's Warehouse is Space Biff's best adapted boardgame of 2024! Thanks Space Biff!

If you're curious about the ridiculous stories you'll make up playing Wilmot's Warehouse, this is a great example from @shutupshow.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHok...

Plaudits: James Perkins Mastromarino of U.S. radio program Here & Now chooses his top five games of 2024: Arcs, Couture, Daybreak, River of Gold, and Wilmot's Warehouse. Details: www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2... —WEM
