It's great having 40-50 people every week playing games in the one room. sometimes more.
I played MtG for many years, and taught a few people that have gone on to play at the national championships, though I was never into the competitive play. I also found the desire to collect far too tempting for me, and got out before it cost me too much. Still cost a few thousand over the years (at best guess anyway).
It was probably the worst for me when I was in college. I'd go on Ebay and buy an entire box of cards. There are websites where you can buy individual cards and I'd do that hahaha I played a lot with my friends, both in childhood and in college, but also never played competitively.
40-50 people, that's just crazy. Sounds like a lot of fun though!
Well I look forward to your next game review and will let you know if I get a chance to play any the games that pop up on your feed. Cheers!
