@cmyk.games's @alex.cmyk.games joins Intertextual Experience for its newest episode.
It's unsurprisingly amazing, and I could type a whole bunch of words explaining why it is. But I'll just let the episode, colors, and Alex speak for themselves.

✨ Loving CMYK Games’ bright colours and paper packaging. It really stands out!
No Thanks! ➡️ pass or pay chips to dodge cards, but tension builds fast.
I’m Out! ➡️ race to drop cards and be first to shout “I’m out!”.
We enjoyed both. Light, quick, and great with more players!

I have often bemoaned the dryness of many modern games. Somebody on the web wrote "boardgames are just math made fun", and I answered that many boardgames are math made not fun. In such games, scores are no longer a reward for good play, but the entire games just consist of calculations. (1/X)

I'm late to the party on "No Thanks"
Just picked up the re-release by @cmyk.games
First simple card game I've played that had at least 4 "Oh wait, I'm doing this wrong!" moments. Not in terms of rules, but in strategies.

CMYK has released two more titles in their Magenta series, aggressively pink big-box versions of small-box classics. The pair, No Thanks! and I'm Out, also happen to be my favorite Magentas thus far. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/10/27/n...

On the whole, I appreciate CMYK’s Magenta series, which takes classic card games and shrouds them in oversized pink boxes. Don’t believe me? Uh, that’s an odd thing to not believe…

If you told me a few years ago that I'd have an opportunity to review a new edition of Magical Athlete, I'd have called you a liar.
If you followed up by telling me it was from @cmyk.games and was perfect in every discernible way, I'd have asked who put you up to this.
