RE: Magic the Gathering - My memories of the Legends release
I've not heard of this game before. Is it along the same lines as Dungeons and Dragons?
I remember a bunch of school friends spending their lunchtimes playing D&D. Sounded lots of fun and I think some of them still play similar games to this day (some 25 years later).
Not exactly, whereas D&D was more in the mind and imagination of the DM (Dungeon Master), Magic is a physical card game which I can only describe as a mix of poker and chess with a strong fantasy twist mixed in.
It makes you think, makes those brain cells work and can be quite strategic. It's also very addictive and can be a big cash drain if not contained. Better played with friends in physical format, it's now available free on all platforms (PC/IOS/Android) as Duals of the Planeswalkers with a fantastic tutorial. It's a steep learning curve learning to play and the tutorials in this are excellent.
