Show notes
In this episode, I’m speaking with Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering.
Richard is fascinated with games and one day asked himself, what happens if not all players have the same deck? Richard tells us that the cornerstone of Magic, the five flavors of mana, was an idea that he thought about frequently and tinkered with in his other games.
Richard shares thoughts on certain cards, his hopes for the future of Magic, and other games he’s proud to have made.
Richard has a website and blog at http://www.threedonkeys.com/blog/
Richard also wrote an article on Facebook titled “A Game Players Manifesto”
I’ll have a link to that article in the show notes at KitchenTableMagic.org.
Special thanks to Laura Cornejo and Mox Boarding House Bellevue for providing a private room for Richard and I to record in.
