www.wizards.comMAGIC: The Gathering
A fast paced(sometimes), highly competitive, intense yet social card game with a fantasy benmt to it. The game itself is as much an intelectual pursuit worthy of soem of the greatest tactical minds, as it is a a fun card game. Though luck does play a role, it is a minimised one. If you have never played it, it is worth at least a look.
Unfortionately the game is expensive to keep up with. Iused to be an avid collector of magic cards, but the mounting cost forced me to become an incidental player. Some of my friends still collect regularly, though they have full time jobs to pay for their addiction. Untill such time as I become very wealthy, I will have to borrow decks from my friends in order to play.
