Magic The Gathering - A Famous Card Game Around the World

In 1993, a mathematics professor Richard Garfield made a trading card game called the Magic (aka "magic the gathering") and now become very well-known. To play the game you must have two persons or more. Each player will then get seven cards on their hands which will have twenty "lifepoint" each. To win, usually means the player has to "kill" their opponents planewalker.

In "Magic the Gathering" or also known as "the Magic", there are two types of cards: "Spells" and "Lands". Lands are like spells casting ability fuels. It allows the players to refuel its spell casting ability. In some tournaments, the decks must contain at least sixty or more, and every player has seven pieces of cards on their hands. Each card represents a unique function in the game play. But as a general rule, players may use no more than four copies of any named card, with the exception of "land".

In every Magic game, generally there are five colored types of spells that you can cast namely: white, black, red, blue and green. Each colored card has a different purpose during game play. For example, a white colored card usually means healing, order, equality, righteousness, law, community, peace, absolutism/totalitarianism, and light. You may say it can power up the creatures defense level during games. On the other hand, black means power, ambition, greed, death, corruption, selfishness, and amorality. It will do more damage to your opponents by killing their creatures on hand or simply make them to "lose" their cards.

Each color has it own weakness or strength, so make sure you read the description on how it can be used to overall benefit to your game plays.

Magic the gathering have been around for about twenty years now and recently they partnered with "Sony" to launch a 3D turn-based strategy game. It is actually a quite a good idea where you can sit around in front of a monitor and play against various players around the globe.

The electronic version is different to the card game. You can actually control a 3D character and have an in built point system, so you don't have to use a pen or pencil to jot down every points or manas that you or your opponents have made like in the tradtional card games. Also the electronic version has a unique story line written that makes it a more enjoyable game to play with.
