Magenta Mayhem: A Fruit Fight Card Game Review

Fruit...

Fruit Fight is a card game in CMYK's Magenta line. All of the games in the Magenta line feature the same color scheme and, let's be frank, are designed to look good next to each other on the shelf. I'm sure it's in the boardgaming bi-laws that if you are going to have a shelf of shame, it should at least be a stylish shelf of shame. But the Magenta line is built to be played and won't gather dust on the shelf.

"See if you can guess what I am now?"
"I'm a cool, simple card game. Get it?"

Sounds great. Been meaning to try Flip 7 but haven't gotten around to it. But I can state that I've never heard of the Magenta line and the box color scheming kind of makes my skin crawl, but I thought that about Wroth, too...

I brought this to the table and introduced it as part of the Magenta line and my wife, daughter, and Sister in law said simultaneously "That's not Magenta."
I've learned to never discuss religion, time travel and Colors at the gaming table.

Well, I mean, they're right. It isn't magenta. It's pink. I say with the experience of having bought a house one time when the previous owner's favorite color had been magenta. Garage door and outside trim? Magenta. Kitchen cabinets? Magenta. 3-level deck out back? Magenta. The first time we looked at it, I walked into the kitchen and said: "Yeah. I can't cook in here." It was on the market for a couple months and when we went back to look again, the cabinets had been painted white, so I think the realtor finally convinced her to make at least a couple changes...

But, all the same, if that's their title for the line, I'm not going to spend any time arguing about it.
