Magicaboo
Welcome to Magicaboo, a kigs game where the country’s greatest magicians gather for the annual magic tournament!
Here’s how it works: 10 objects are placed in the center of the table, covered with a magical scarf, while picture tiles are arranged face-up in a circle. The magician must feel for an object under the scarf, select one, and—while chanting “MA-GI-CA-BOOO!”—make it disappear.
The spectators must then identify the missing object and quickly place their hand on the corresponding tile. Observation, speed, and intuition are key to winning!
