No, not pulling‐rabbits‐out‐of‐hats magic. Elves‐and‐dragons‐and‐goblins magic! Magic: The Gathering is the first and oldest
collec ble trading card game. At its heart, Magic is like a game of chess crossed with a fantasy world of elves, goblins, spells, and
dragons. However, whereas chess has only six different types of pieces, Magic has literally thousands of different cards, each with
its own strengths, weaknesses, and abili es, from which each player selects his or her favorite 60 to build a deck.
Magic: The Gathering Beginners and Beyond
This camp for the collec ble trading card game Magic: The Gathering is all about the
basics. Campers will learn the beginner and intermediate rules of the game, develop
early, middle, and late‐game strategies, and discover what it takes to build a compe ve
