Magic: The Gathering is a strategy card game which lets players take the role of a dueling wizards who can summon creatures to fight for them. You defeat your opponent by reducing his life points down to zero.
The game consists of numerous elements from various fantasy worlds, including magic, elves, dwarves, dragons, mana, orcs, and so forth. One of the reasons for keeping the game limited to the size of a small deck of cards was so that it could be easily taken along to, and played at, gaming conventions.[1]
Its creator is Richard Garfield and the game is owned by Wizards of the Coast, the same firm that publishes Dungeons and Dragons. The full name of the game uses a subtitle, i.e., Magic: The Gathering.
