Cons

Magical Athlete still in the plastic … the disrespect
I got Magical Athlete because of Richard Garfield speaking of its creativity. But ultimately, the game feels like a children's game and has very little actual gameplay involved. It's not really for a gamers market, more for those kind of people who play Monopoly.

Magical Athlete 🏁 BG group’s new favorite✨
In the last year, I bought/was gifted: Voidfall, Compile, Bomb Busters, Andromeda's Edge, Harmonies, Magical Athlete and Ark Nova.
