The publisher that brought you breakout board game hits like <em>Wavelength<\/em> and <em>Daybreak<\/em> has a new line of high-concept card games called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmyk.games\/collections\/magenta\">Magenta<\/a>. Polygon received an exclusive early preview of the first four games in the series last month, and recently sat down with the team at CMYK to learn more about the project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Magenta is a fledgling series of small-box games curated by CMYK co-founder James Nathan Spencer with creative direction by co-founder Alex Hague. The pair tells Polygon that the inspiration comes from a shared love of card games in all their forms. Magenta is also an attempt to elevate traditional card games back into the mainstream of the hobby, which has for a long time seen card games dismissively relegated to the role of so-called \u201cfiller games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cThere&#8217;s this kind of romantic idea of the kind of card game night that maybe your parents had, or more likely your grandparents had,\u201d Hague said on a recent video call. \u201cThey would have friends over, they would make some drinks, [and] they would play cards all night. And so it&#8217;s kind of this weird mirror image of maybe what&#8217;s happened in the board game space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cWe really had to think a lot about <em>What does a CMYK version of a card game line look like<\/em>? That&#8217;s how Magenta was born.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daybreak-wavelength-publisher-cmyk-doubles-down-on-card-games-with-magenta-1.jpg\" alt=\"The boxes for first four games in CMYK\u2019s Magenta series, including Figment, Fives, Duos, and Fruit Fight.\" title=\"The boxes for first four games in CMYK\u2019s Magenta series, including Figment, Fives, Duos, and Fruit Fight.\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"Magenta will include both new and reimagined games. Reiner Knizia\u2019s &lt;em&gt;Fruit Fight&lt;\/em&gt;, for instance, was originally released as &lt;em&gt;No Mercy&lt;\/em&gt;. | Photo: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/adanielforero\/?hl=en&quot;&gt;Daniel Forero&lt;\/a&gt;\/CMYK\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/adanielforero\/?hl=en&quot;&gt;Daniel Forero&lt;\/a&gt;\/CMYK\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The first four games in the Magenta line are numbered, with the boxes designed to sit on the shelf in order. They include <em>Fives<\/em>, a thrilling trick-taking game in the style of <em>Hearts <\/em>or <em>Spades<\/em>, from Taiki Shinzawa; <em>Duos<\/em>, a team-based <em>Rummy<\/em>-style card game by Johannes Schmidauer-K\u00f6nig; <em>Figment<\/em>, a novel card game based on optical illusions by Wolfgang Warsch; and <em>Fruit Fight<\/em>, a push-your-luck style game from the prolific Reiner Knizia. All feature the same magenta-colored slipcase, with common iconography, fonts, and graphic design elements. They also make use of the same, weighty pressed-paper disks and, like other products in the CMYK lineup, contain few if any plastic components.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Magenta line is intended to be a resource for players, a way to supplement their at-home collections with excellent card games to go alongside beloved board games. To that end, CMYK is carefully labeling these card games with the kind of information that board game players need when they\u2019re looking for new experiences. Each box will include traditional information like the number of players and the length of time needed to play. But it will also have something new: text to call out the mood that the game is looking to evoke.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-image-slider alignnone wp-block-vox-media-image-slider\">\n<div class=\"c-image-slider__caption\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daybreak-wavelength-publisher-cmyk-doubles-down-on-card-games-with-magenta-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"The small boxes open revealing ready-to-play components.\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daybreak-wavelength-publisher-cmyk-doubles-down-on-card-games-with-magenta-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\u201cOne of the specific things that &lt;em&gt;Fives&lt;\/em&gt; sneakily does great is yes, you can bust early, but in general the fate of the hand comes down to the literal last card play,\u201c said curator James Nathan Spencer in an interview with Polygon. \u201dYou don&#039;t know if that last person is going to win that trick and then take points from you, or are you going to end up busting?\u201c\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daybreak-wavelength-publisher-cmyk-doubles-down-on-card-games-with-magenta-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daybreak-wavelength-publisher-cmyk-doubles-down-on-card-games-with-magenta-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cThe idea struck us that what you really want when you see those things [like number of players and length of playtime] on the back is [the answer to a question]: What kind of time am I going to have playing this game?,\u201d said Hague. \u201c[&#8230;] To me, at least when I look at the back of a box, that&#8217;s kind of one of [the] main things that I want to know if I&#8217;ve never played the game before. What is the feel of it going to be and does that match the people that I&#8217;m playing the game with?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Perhaps the biggest shared feature between all four games is the set of easy-to-read, plainly-written instructions. In our experience testing the games, these slim pamphlets made them terrifically simple to learn and teach on the fly \u2014 even with young or inexperienced players at the table.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-image-slider alignnone wp-block-vox-media-image-slider\">\n<div class=\"c-image-slider__caption\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daybreak-wavelength-publisher-cmyk-doubles-down-on-card-games-with-magenta-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"&lt;em&gt;Figment&lt;\/em&gt; tasks players with collectively determining what percentage of a given color is shown on each card revealed in sequence. | Photo: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/adanielforero\/?hl=en&quot;&gt;Daniel Forero&lt;\/a&gt;\/CMYK\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/adanielforero\/?hl=en&quot;&gt;Daniel Forero&lt;\/a&gt;\/CMYK\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daybreak-wavelength-publisher-cmyk-doubles-down-on-card-games-with-magenta-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/adanielforero\/?hl=en&quot;&gt;Daniel Forero&lt;\/a&gt;\/CMYK\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daybreak-wavelength-publisher-cmyk-doubles-down-on-card-games-with-magenta-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/adanielforero\/?hl=en&quot;&gt;Daniel Forero&lt;\/a&gt;\/CMYK\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/daybreak-wavelength-publisher-cmyk-doubles-down-on-card-games-with-magenta-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Photo: &lt;a href=&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/adanielforero\/?hl=en&quot;&gt;Daniel Forero&lt;\/a&gt;\/CMYK\" \/> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cMaking manuals is absolutely one of CMYK and Alex\u2019s superpowers,\u201d said Magenta line curator James Nathan Spencer. Hague said that the company has been \u201cthrough the trenches\u201d of manual design, especially with <em>Daybreak<\/em>, which required multiple international translations. Fans of video tutorials are in luck as well, as the developers tell Polygon that Shut Up and Sit Down co-founder Quentin \u201cQuinns\u201d Smith has been hired on to perform the Magenta line\u2019s tutorial videos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The first four games in the Magenta line will go up for sale soon on CMYK\u2019s website for $25 each, and it\u2019s the company\u2019s hope that they\u2019ll also be available at game shops and larger retailers. Regardless, CMYK has big plans for Magenta, including new games designed in-house and more clever, curated versions of beloved classics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">\u201cWe kind of want Magenta to almost feel like the Criterion Collection of card games,\u201d said Hague. \u201cWe really do want to have several dozen games in this line, and to have them all feel like they are at a level where they feel like absolute classics of the card game form.\u201d <\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>The<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmyk.games\/collections\/magenta\">Magenta<\/a> <em>line was previewed using pre-release retail products provided by CMYK.
