There Will Be Games
I know it's time for a Review Rodeo over at Gameshark.com when I've played a bunch of games that I liked or didn't like but not enough to write a full feature on them. This time, the rodeo'ed games are mostly pretty good, but there is one stunning masterpiece among them. I liked LIFEBOAT and GALAXY TRUCKER well enough, but MAGICAL ATHELETE is one of the highest achievements in board game design ever to grace a table. Or maybe it's not, it's really pretty dumb. I dunno. At any rate, I'd rather play it than 95% of the games sitting on my shelf right now so I guess that says something. Or does it? Who knows, never has a game baffled me so with the way it combines amazingness with sheer idiocy. Bottom line, it's brilliant. I think.
Funagain has it for $47.95...Frank Branham's got a copy and that's the only thing keeping me from blowing money on a deck of 25 cards, a crap board, and a d6. Go buy it now.*
