Twilight Sparkle Alicorn Blind Bag from Rainbow Magic Game by Cardinal Games
Some of you might remember the Rainbow Magic Game. It's a board game made by Cardinal Games which features 4 regular Blind Bags. One of Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle. This game was released in 2014 but it seems like it has gotten a re-release. One of our readers had ordered 2 of these games for his child, but both sets were different.

The difference was the Twilight Sparkle Blind Bag that came with it. It turns out she got wings so it's a completely different mold! Hopefully they will continue using this mold for her in the regular Blind Bag waves. I think it looks really cool!

You can order it on the TRU Website for $15.29 during the current sale. The Regular price is $16.99. Ignore the box art as it's an prototype with images from a Rarity Brushable Custom. However, keep in mind that we don't know yet if people will receive the second release or the first one. It has also been listed on Amazon here and it seems like there are even MORE versions of this game by reading the comments. Some of them come with cardboard Ponies so the best is to inform first which version they are selling!

Many thanks to Ryan for the heads-up and images!
Now that I remember I believe we actually never talked about this game. I found the summary of the game on TTPM and I'm just gonna post it here

Rainbow Magic Game by Cardinal Games

What It Is
My Little Pony Rainbow Magic Game is a cooperative board game for two to four players where players work together to achieve a common game object: building a rainbow. The game comes with a game board, a cloud arch, a spinner, four My Little Pony movers, six wedge sun tiles, one hub sun tile, nine rainbow pieces, and instructions.

Each player places her My Little Pony mover on the corresponding character home space on the board. Then, players take turns spinning to see how or if they'll be able to move around the board. You might be able to move one, two, three, or four spaces around the board in either direction or you might get sent to Ponyville, where you'll be stuck until you spin your way out or another player is able to rescue you. If the spinner lands on the sun, you must turn one sun tile over so its stormy side is face-up.

If you get to move around the board, there are even more actions to perform depending on what space your mover lands. If you land on a heart, you can rescue any ponies stuck in Ponyville. An arrow means "spin again." If you land on a sun, turn one stormy sun tile back over so its sunshine side faces up again. The rainbow space lets you take any rainbow piece and place it on the rainbow side of the game board.

The players win if they place all nine rainbow pieces on the game board before all the sun tiles have been turned over. Lift the completed rainbow into place behind the cloud arch and move your ponies through to Canterlot Castle. But, if all six sun tiles are flipped to the stormy sides before the rainbow is complete, then the game is over and the players must try again.

Is It Fun?
This is a really cute game for young My Little Pony fans who will enjoy building the rainbow as they play. The game involves matching, counting, and even some strategy because kids must decide in which direction to move their pony movers to land on a spot that will yield the best result. And when not playing the game, kids can use the game pieces for imaginative play.

Who It’s For
My Little Pony Rainbow Magic Game is for ages 3 and up.

What To Be Aware Of
The instructions don't explicitly state this, but if you get stuck in Ponyville, you can get yourself out because you're still allowed to spin the spinner. If you spin and land on the 1/heart spot, you can free yourself from Ponyville. This comes in handy if all players are stuck in Ponyville.

Many thanks again to TTPM for the summary of the game.
