2 Days till Game Summit: Magic the Gathering

It’s officially 2 days until the big event. To mark the countdown, I am going to post something about Game Summit every single day, trying to tell you stuff you might not otherwise know.

Few games have really caught fire like Magic the Gathering, from Wizards of the Coast. Game Summit will be bringing so much MTG to the table that no fan will go wanting (check our schedule for details). Tons of gaming and prizes galore will be on deck, thanks to Wizard’s Tower… and both pro and neophyte alike will rock out in a big way if they love this game.

Never heard of Magic the Gathering before? Here’s a little something from the Wizards of the Coast website: “In the Magic game, you play the role of a planeswalker—a powerful wizard who fights other planeswalkers for glory, knowledge, and conquest. Your deck of cards represents all the weapons in your arsenal. It contains the spells you know and the creatures you can summon to fight for you.

Trading card games like the Magic: The Gathering TCG combine collectable cards with a strategy game. You don’t know what you’ll get in a Magic booster pack. You just start a collection and trade with other players to get the cards you want.

The best part about a trading card game is that it’s always changing. You design and build your own unique decks, and each Magic game you play is different. New Magic expansions are released a few times a year, and each new expansion brings new ways to stupefy and defeat your opponents.”
