Magic The Gathering

I play Magic. At least I do when I can scrape together the time at the same time as other friends (or at least one of them) who also play magic.

Now, for those of you out there who have no idea what I’m talking about, go visit www.wizards.com and follow the links to magic the gathering. They will nicely explain it all to you in more concise and precise terms than I could possibly hope to (they get paid for that kind of thing, I don’t).

What attracts me to the game is the combination of fantasy flavor and strategy. I enjoy strategy games. Well, I enjoy most games. I enjoy thinking about my options and considering my opponents options and then trying to figure out what the best option really is.

I also like the pretty pictures on the cards and the amazing amount of work that wizards has put into keeping a game like magic health for as long as they have. You would think that after nearly 15 years it would have simply died. I for one am glad that it hasn’t.
