Read the full game description
Ride the magic carpet across the desert in a magical race to the sky palace with a friendly genie. You can fall into traps — or fly faster in the wind. Magic Fold is a new version of Fold-it with a racing theme designed by Bruno Cathala. The game presents a new and fantastic combination of racing and folding system. Pick and choose between four magical formula cards and fold the magic carpet quickly before the other players. Players take tokens in the order they finish. Using a combination of the tokens and magical formula cards, you can fly through the desert or interfere with others from reaching the goal first. The player who reaches the palace first wins!
