Quotes (from this video)
- The gimmick is you have a large plastic cube that has magnets on it, and you are rolling it around a board picking up tiles.
- Magnets are cool, folks.
- This one's simple with a fun, bright theme, and I found it easy to jump into and play.
- Ink is a game in which you are, well, basically getting rid of ink wells. That's it.
- it looks very abstract because the inks wells don't mean anything, but it's easy to play and fun for people to get into.
- Simple, fun, easy. That is pencil pirates.
- chunky components very much interactive where your tower might block the towers behind you and then they don't score any points
- Very interesting, silly artwork, but anybody can play it.
- If you like games like Rummy or games that we call card shedding where you're trying to get rid of all the cards from your hand, this is an amazing one.
- beautiful bright color artwork. The whole package comes together very nice.
- Magical Athlete is not a game to be taken seriously by any means, but it's just so entertaining and fun to play.
