Magical Athlete: Feel the Love

I was amazed when I looked over at BGG and saw no one had done a review of this great game.  I rarely write reviews, but part of me wanted to make sure that it didn't get overlooked by those hesitant to buy or even try a game labeled as “roll and move”. (OK, maybe hesitant is putting it too nicely)   Honestly, even with Barnes' great review a year or so ago, I might never have bought this game without trying it out in Atlanta at Richard Launius' Clubhouse during Averyfest 2010.  I think I played 3-4 games in the brief gaming time that I had in Atlanta.  I’ve had more pure fun and laughs playing this game than many more complex, clever or “elegant” games. Why? In short, the drafting of characters for the 4 or 5 races and the wonderfully interactive character powers transform it into something special.
