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 has a deeply unfair, game breaking power. It's fast, dumb, and without a doubt, the only game where you can race a baby versus a banana.

Gameplay Overview
Magical Athlete is a gleefully unhinged racing game originally designed by Takashi Ishida and updated by Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield — and it shows. The premise is simple: draft a team of absurd fantasy and real-world racers from a pool of 20+ unique characters, then race them down the track by rolling a die and moving that many spaces. The chaos comes from the powers. Every racer has a wildly unbalanced, deeply unfair special ability — some teleport, some steal spaces, some reverse the track, some do things that shouldn't be possible in a racing game. The combination of straightforward movement rules and completely broken character abilities creates the kind of unpredictable, laugh-out-loud moments that make non-gamers and hardened hobbyists equally happy. Plays in 30 minutes, teaches in two, and never plays the same way twice.
