"Magic: The Gathering" (MTG) is a collectible card game invented by mathematician Richard Garfield and introduced to the role-playing game (RPG) market in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast. Since then, the MTG fan base has grown, boasting an astounding six million plus players worldwide. A typical game of "Magic: The Gathering" is carried out by two or more players, each supplied with their own deck of cards (or library) with which to do battle. Play progresses as magic spells and enchantments are cast, artifacts forged and employed and a sizable phantasmagoria of monsters, animals, spirits and men are summoned. The game takes cues from classic role-playing games like Dungeons and Dragons, but bears closer resemblance to bridge or poker in play.
