Fantasy fans rejoice! The Moose Jaw Public Library has a new program on the popular Magic: The Gathering card game.
The program will start tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the library. It is sure to appeal to long-time players and newbies alike.
“We are trying new programs to see what people are interested in. D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) was pretty popular and we thought that Magic would be easier for the library to run and we thought it would be interesting for people who don’t get to play very often,” explained assistant head librarian Shevaun Ruby.
You won’t need to bring anything with you and you don’t need to know how to play in order to participate.
“We are going to have a welcome deck set up. Wizards of the Coast sent out welcome packs, which are basically 30-card intro decks that will teach you how to play the game,” said Ruby. “We will tell people the basics of the game; it is a pretty complicated game but it is really easy to learn at the same time. As you get more into it, obviously you get into more of the nitty gritty in terms of the rules, but this will be a simplistic introduction. We have also bought eight challenger decks that are full, competitive play decks that people can try out.”
Of course, you are welcome to bring your own decks as well.
The event is for anyone over the age of 13 and adults can participate, too.
Can’t make it out tonight? You will have several other opportunities to participate this summer. The other dates for the program are:
- Wednesday, June 26
- Wednesday, July 10
- Wednesday, July 24
- Wednesday, August 7
