DISCOVER A NEW WORLD!
Trading card games have only been around since 1993, when Richard Garfield invented Magic: The Gathering. This might seem like a long time to you if you're only ten years old, but think about this: video games have been around since 1972, Monopoly was invented in 1935, and chess has been a popular game for almost 1,500 years, a hundred times longer than trading card games!
And trading card games get more popular each year for alot of different reasons. Here are five reasons why so many kids are playing games like Pokemon, Bella Sara, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Bakugan Battle Brawlers:
- 1. They're easy to learn! With a rulebook or with a friend, you can be ready to play in no time.
- 2. They're fun to collect and trade - and every time you add new cards to your collection, you might discover a new way to play the cards you already have.
- 3. They teach all kinds of things, like reading, math, and new ways to think about problems and how to solve them.
- 4. They're a great way to make new friends. Many local libraries, community centers, and game stores host events where you can make new friends who are as excited about the game as you are. Together, you can play the game and test your skills.
- 5. They're rewarding! You can enter a league and win prizes, go online and collect points, or even compete to be one of the top-ranked players in the country ... or the world!
