[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 12843, member: 152"] [url=http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Summoner/]Magic: The Gathering[/url], originally a trading card game that eventually came to have the most complex ruleset ever devised by the mind of man (the complete printed copy I have from several years ago runs 888 pages - now it's in an online database only because it is so large and complex that a printed copy would be a tangled mass of cross-references). Some of the rare cards from early editions can go for the price of a real pinball machine if they're in mint condition. It's also the longest-running trading card game, and is on something like its 40th or 50th expansion set. It's since spawned several different video game adaptations, both self-contained and online. [I]Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013[/I] is the latest one. The video games are necessarily somewhat simplified and usually restrict you to a subset of the thousands of Magic cards out there, although I understand the later ones include features and new game modes not possible in the physical card game. I long since dropped out of the Magic universe, and while I do occasionally peek in from the sidelines, I've (so far) successfully resisted the temptation to dive back in. It's a [I]very[/I] addictive game, whatever form it's in. If done right by someone who took the time to immerse themselves in MTG mechanics and lore, it could make a very good pinball table. That 26" LCD screen that Jersey Jack Pinball has on their new Wizard of Oz table would be a perfect fit for it. (Maybe the video mode could be an sudden-death MTG game played onscreen!)
