Magic the Gathering

This is a show about a game my son used to love that I never understood. It's called Magic: The Gathering, and it’s a card game that's sort of a cross between Dungeons and Dragons and chess. It involves spells and enchantments and creatures and math and strategy. The game was born in 1993, and millions of people play it around the world, and even though I don't understand the game, I appreciate that it happens between real people, in person. I used to take my son Henry to Friday night games in Montpelier, Vermont. One night I took my recorder and talked with some of the players. Happy birthday Henry.
