Magic: The Gathering (MTG; також відома як Магія) — колекційна карткова гра, створена Річардом Гарфілдом та вперше видана у 1993 році компанією Wizards of the Coast. Magic was the first trading card game produced and it continues to thrive, with approximately twelve million players станом на 2011.[1][2][3][4][5] Magic can be played by two or more players each using a deck of 60+ printed cards or a deck of virtual cards through the Internet-based Magic: The Gathering Online or other programs.
Each game represents a battle between wizards known as "planeswalkers", who employ spells, artifacts, and creatures depicted on individual Magic cards to defeat their opponents. Although the original concept of the game drew heavily from the motifs of traditional fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons, the gameplay of Magic bears little similarity to pencil-and-paper adventure games, while having substantially more cards and more complex rules than many other card games.

Note that the "twelve million" figure given here is used by Hasbro; while through their subsidiary Wizards of the Coast they would be in the best position to know through tournament registrations and card sales, they also have an interest in presenting an optimistic estimate to the public. - ↑ First modern trading card game.
