‘Magic- The Gathering’ is a collectible card based game that was/has become very popular and has spawned a number of imitators. I was first introduced to the game in the mid 90’s when it was first introduced to the UK. A friend of mine told me about it and before long I had bought a starter set and began having friendly ...  Read the complete review

Your hands tremble slightly, you look worriedly at all the shiny packets, not sure if you should choose… This one? Hmm maybe… *that* one has a Foil card… maybe not, but with Magic the Gathering, it’s all in the “cards”. To understand Magic the Gathering, one has to understand the premise behind the ...  Read the complete review

It was sometime during the Summer of 1999 that a couple of friends came round with a Magic: The Gathering 'Portal' starter kit that had been bundled with a computer game. I'd been aware of the existence of the game for several years but until that point had never got my hands on it. That first evening was great fun. We got the ...  Read the complete review

This is a customisable card game that appeals to all ages. I bought my first Magic cards in 1993, simply because I liked the pictures. I then learned to play the game in 1998 when I found 2 of my work colleagues playing and recognised the cards. My collection was quite sought after as I had an older set, but I chose to learn to play ...  Read the complete review

Magic the gathering is possibly one of the most popular card games in the world! Not to mention the most expensive, you pay about £2.50 for 15 pieces of card which have pictures on and just because you can only get about 10 of a certain card (thats across the entire world) you have to have that card! So you buy some more and you buy some more ...  Read the complete review

I don't know whether to think of Magic The Gathering as game, a collection or a job! I started to become interested in Magic a couple of years ago, when I saw some fellow class mates playing the game. I started to watch them and learn th many rules involved in this advanced card game. Then idea of the game is to get your ...  Read the complete review

I played M:TG for about a year and a half, and I have to agree with anyone who says that this is EXTREMELY addictive. Before I put across my opinion though, I will explain the game a bit. The main idea is to have any number of players square off against each other, playing as wizards, who can cast all sorts of spells to kill of each ...  Read the complete review

It's hard to believe that I once felt jealous as I watched friends at school playing "Magic, the Gathering" and wished I could join in their games. The cards all had cool pictures on them, and the excitement of choosing a deck of cards that would have the best chance of winning once I took the other player's playing style into ...  Read the complete review

Since the introduction of Pokemon (for the younger players) shelf-space for Magic cards has been drastically reduced. TV adverts for Magic were shown about a year ago, but they didn't seem to increase it's popularity, which is wrong. Magic is a multi-player card game, which is supported by numreous websites, magazines, books, computer ...  Read the complete review

This game -when i started playing and collecting at the start of 4th edition - was a brilliant game. Many hours of fun were had playing and trading with my role-playing friends. With the coming of the Ice Age expansion, followed by Alliances and Homelands, i thought this game could get no better, with really inventive cards, plenty of ...  Read the complete review

I used to attend a wargaming and roleplaying association in Germany and I decided I wanted to begin collecting Magic the Gathering so I could play against or trade with the other members of the club. So I went into Roermond (a town just outside the german border) and I bought a few hundred cards cause I thought that would get me started. Playing ...  Read the complete review

Magic the Gathering used to be an excellent game of skill, wits, daring, and intelligence. Because of corporate greed it has deteriorated into a game of money and status. Magic is played with a deck of cards that each player puts together from his collection. The cards can give mana (spell casting power), creatures, spells, artefacts, ...  Read the complete review

After reading some of the opinions here I decided I would add my 2 pence worth. Alot of the other posts can tell you what the game is about but I want to say what it feels to be a magic player. (sorry but I can't help laugh at that.. this is the reason I stopped playing, I took it too seriously!!) I started playing Magic a ...  Read the complete review

A card game like no other, Magic the Gathering combines luck, skill and strategy in to one very addictive game. The simple premise is that you have a deck of cards that are divided in to two categories, spells and lands. Lands are used to pay for spells. Spells themselves are divided in to creatures which can attack your opponents ...  Read the complete review

I haven't played Magic in quite a while so I'm writing this review based on my ample experience from when I did play it a lot and what has made me play it less now. Magic is a game for 2 or more players where each player provides a pack of cards from which they play. Within a deck of magic cards there are a variety of different types of ...  Read the complete review

Heed the words of an old player!! Do not try this game! You'll buy your first starter, savouring the smell of newly opened cards and eagerly looking at the tiny rulebook. You'll get your friends to buy them too, and before you know it - you'll be hooked. I used to play Magic until just after the Tempest expansion. I have to say ...  Read the complete review
