My first game

[Luke the Squig]

When we went to Wargames workshop on Saturday, the guy there kindly offered to run me through a game of Magic: The Gathering against Dad. I really enjoyed it, and think that it could certainly be something for me to consider getting into. I know that it can be seriously money-sapping and addictive, but I really do think that it is a great, great game. I think that the rules are simple (well, to start off with, anyway), the idea is brilliant and it isn't that expensive to get a small deck of cards. Although, I know that as you get more and more into the game, it can quickly become a wallet-chomper. Still, though, I am determined to get into the game, and even more determined to find our starter set! I have looked everywhere possible, and still have had no success in finding it. I noticed that (before we replaced an old cabinet) it was lurking around underneath a television stand. I will find you, starter set!

May I just add that I beat Dad well and truely, with me using White cards, and him using Green. I'd love to have some future games with people, and really look forward to when I do!
