Trading Card Games for Dummies

John Kaufeld; Jeremy Smith

Synopsis:
A step-by-step guide through the wild and wildly popular world of collectible gaming

Here's the perfect guide for anyone interested in this fast-growing hobby, as well as for parents who'd like to know a little more about what their kids are into. In trading card games, players build a deck through purchases and trades, then compete for ultimate hands or points. This book explains how the games work, defines key terms like starters, boosters, draft packs, anthology sets, and sealed tournaments, and covers some of the most popular games, including Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, Lord of the Rings, and others.

John Kaufeld (Fort Wayne, IN) operates a card and board game shop. An officer of the Game Manufacturers Association, he is currently Press Liaison for the Origins International Game Expo.
