Summary: Magic: The Gathering' is a role playing card game invented by mathematician Richard Garfield and introduced to the RPG market in 1994 by Wizards of the Coast. Since then, MTG has become so popular that its rosters boast over 6 million players worldwide. Perhaps some of this attraction is a by product of the mythos that Magic borrows both from classic role playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons, and the body fantasy and science fiction literature. But part of the game’s major appeal is its logical complexity. Intermediate and advanced players often employ strategies on a level akin to chess, running multiple decision-consequence threads while adjusting for the historical and characteristic playing styles of an opponent to determine their best play. The rules of the game and the logical implications of any given card’s instructions can develop decision making abilities in players, who essentially are training to be able to solve game theory matrices on the fly—a challenge for even the most avid Magic gamer.
