With the creation of Magic: The Gathering, Wizards of the Coast, Inc. introduced an entirely new game genre. Combining the fascination of trading cards with the excitement of fantasy games, Magic draws its players into a universe of infinite possibilities. Prepare to meet the challenges you will encounter in the strategic world of trading card games.

In Magic, you play a powerful wizard battling for control of a sphere of Dominia. Drawing form your deck of illustrated cards, you combat other wizards by summoning creatures and casting spells. By trading cards with other players, you can create a stronger deck to defeat your opponents. And the more you play and trade, the more Dominia's ever-changing adventures will intrigue you. In Magic: The Gathering, you'll never play the same game twice!

The two decks in this box each contain 60 cards randomly selected from a pool of over 300 different cards - some common, some uncommon, and some rare. No two decks are alike. This box contains everything two people need to play Magic, including:

• Two 60-card decks, one for each player
• 30 glass counters
• Flannel bag for storing the counters
• Illustrated rulebook
• Card collectors' checklist
