Magical Athlete – Game Review in 2 Minutes #boardgames

Watch “Magical Athlete – Game Review in 2 Minutes #boardgames,” a board game review for Magical Athlete from Board Game Dad on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Board Game Dad on YouTube:

Magical Athlete drafts you a cast of racers with wacky, game-breaking abilities, then turns you loose on a track that's pure chaos from start to finish. Choose the mild or wild side of the board and every ability starts colliding with every other ability in ways that swing the race constantly. In this review I get into how balanced (or unbalanced) that chaos actually feels, how the drafting shapes your strategy before the race even starts, and who's going to have the most fun with it.

About Magical Athlete, from BoardGameGeek:

Magical Athlete is a racing game of pure chaos! Roll a die and move your racer that many spaces - but all the racers have wacky, game-breaking abilities. Race four times, then whoever has the most points wins! Before the racing begins, players will draft the four racers they will have in the game and choose before each race which to use. Races alternate between the "mild" side of the board and the "wild" side of the board. A race ends once two racers have crossed the finish line - with, generally, only these two players receiving points. -description from the publisher
