Magic: the Gathering

Have you ever heard of the game Magic: the Gathering?  It is a trading card game involving creatures, sorcery, artifacts, and the like.

I've been playing this game for about two and a half years, and it has me hooked.  Every 6 months they come out with a new set of cards for gameplay.  If you want to learn the rules, here's a link: http://media.wizards.com/images/magic/resources/rules/EN_MTGM13_Rulebook.pdf

Here's an example of a card:

This is a creature card, one of my favorites.  It has seven 'attack' and seven 'defense,' which is really good.  It also has a very valuable special power, which you probably don't get unless you know the rules or have played Magic before.  Also shown is the back of the card.





The only problem with Magic is that it's a black hole for money.  They are pretty expensive at stores, and the only way to get them cheap is online.  Since they come out with new cards every month, you want to buy them to have the best and newest cards.  I would recommend selling the cards that are old and you don't need.
   Otherwise, it is an extremely fun game that I recommend to play.  It is often found in gaming stores if you want to buy any.  Happy gaming!
