Only few people know it and less than 200 people play it in shanghai.So it's my dream to play the game in USA,the place where the game oriented and has a large population of the MTG fans. Friday afternoon, my dream came ture.With the help of intern students, i found a MTGstore not very far from the school and had the chance to play several games with local people.Comparing with the competitive format i played in China, the local people chose a more casual way which i've never knew before: 6 people sit arround the table and play his/her own deck.The other players seemed to be old friend so i was not accutomed to the rules at first, so i lost several games, but that'is not important, i had fun, that enough... http://blog.vcu.edu/wangy23/2007/07/a_visit_to_the_local_mtg_store.html http://blog.vcu.edu/wangy23/2007/07/a_visit_to_the_local_mtg_store.html Wed, 25 Jul 2007 00:26:55 +0000 I am a mtg fan.Actually I have been playing it for several years.Mtg(magic the gathering) is a kind of card game, some like bridge cards but not use poker with no relation to magic... Before I came here, I expect for seeing the local mtg store,changing cards or if lucky getting some signitures from the painters i like. But now i am really disappointed.i asked several intern student, only one or two them had heart about it not to say playing it.actually, they prefer star war games which i think is childish. finally i search the internet, and find a number of the local store. it mainly sells cromix and mtg count is just in the corner.however i am still looking forward to the trip there... http://blog.vcu.edu/wangy23/2007/07/disapointed.html http://blog.vcu.edu/wangy23/2007/07/disapointed.html Fri, 20 Jul 2007 03:55:34 +0000 I've been here for two days so my blog could no more then be summarized in one sentence. So I decide to add one: it is another good day here! And special thanks for Matt cause when I was lost arround the nearby church, fortunately I saw him walking towards me, smiling and waving. In this unfamilliar surroundings, it iwas so good to have such an ORACLE pointed out a bright way leading to my "deatination".
