We finally did it. After 10 years, we remade Monikers from scratch: new art, new card design, updated rules—no points!—and a huge content refresh:

Monikers
Get your team to guess the name on the card! They’ve got 1 minute to guess as many as they can. In the first round, you can say anything. In the second, only one word. And in the third, charades! The ...

Announcing MAGICAL ATHLETE, the only game where you can race a baby against a banana:

Magical Athlete
Magical Athlete is a chaotic racing game where anything can happen. Recruit a team of absurd racers—Centaur, Egg, Rocket Scientist—then just roll your die and move that many spaces. Except each racer ...

Magical Athlete is back after 22 years. This is board gaming reduced to its base elements, and the result is electric. The new edition from CMYK is perfect, maybe the best update of a game I've ever seen. My review: playerelimination.com/2025/09/16/g...
Going the Distance – A Magical Athlete Review
Takashi Ishida’s Magical Athlete is a quirky game about a cast of misfits in a foot race. First released in 2003 by Z-Man Games, its oddball nature and prototype-level production resulted in …

Why bet on horses when you can bet on D-list mascots? Hot Streak is a revelation. Rarely is a game equal parts absurd and committed.

If there's one thing I wish the boardgame crowd could internalize, it's this. You never hear designers say "Oh there's nothing to it" pejoratively about a game.

If it's said, it's usually in AWE.
Hot Streak is not only the lightest board game I've designed, it was probably the hardest design process... and I do think in general that those things are related.

This is hands down my favorite race/betting/party game. I've played it a handful of times at different events over the last few months and every one has been a blast. It a perfect depiction of mascot races down to the human eyes inside the costumes.
