Magic: The Gathering
Cover image for Magic: The Gathering
Theme & Description:
Players each bring a custom deck of cards representing lands, creatures, spells and other effects, then take turns tapping lands to generate mana and casting cards to summon forces, disrupt opponents or otherwise alter the game state as they try to reduce rival life totals to zero. This is a legendary game for a reason. The Archenemy and Vanguard variants reshape the experience with asymmetric powers and team-versus-one play, creating dramatic, unbalanced scenarios and epic multiplayer showdowns.
