Magic and Minions // Magic and Minions (cont'd)

2 players | 2 packs | 10 minutes OBJECTIVE: Best your opponent in a series of fast Magic games using only the cards in a single pack! GET READY: Each player opens a pack and makes four face-down piles of three cards each using the Magic cards inside. Players make their piles with the goal of winning a series of Magic games with these modified rules: Players start at 5 life, have infinite mana, and cannot lose by drawing from an empty library. LET'S PLAY: Randomly determine who goes first. Each player chooses which pile their opponent will use for each round. Then both players draw all three of their cards and play a game of Magic. When a player loses a game, they get to go first in the next game. TO WIN: The first player to win two games wins the match.

2-6 players | 3 packs | 15 minutes | d20 OBJECTIVE: Work together to score as many points as possible by deciphering your teammates' clues and correctly guessing the mystery card. GET READY: Open three boosters and remove any cards without _Magic_ card backs. Shuffle the remaining cards into a face down deck. Randomly determine who goes first—that player is the *Interpreter*. LET'S PLAY: The interpreter draws a *mystery card* from the top of the deck, rolls a d20, and then gives a clue determined by the result of their roll (see opposite side of card). The Interpreter then draws five more cards from the deck, shuffles them together with the mystery card, and then reveals them. The other players collectively guess which of the six cards is the mystery card. If they guess correctly, all players score 1 point as a team. After guessing, the round ends and the Interpreter puts the used cards in a discard pile. If the deck runs out of cards, shuffle the discard pile to create a new deck. The Interpreter role then passes to the next player. The game ends after six rounds.

2-4 players | 2+ packs | 10 minutes OBJECTIVE: Match and collect the most treasure chests before someone uncovers the mimics hiding amongst the loot! GET READY: Open one booster per player and remove any lands and cards without _Magic_ card backs, and then shuffle them together. Then put *two lands* back into the deck (to represent the mimics) and shuffle. Deal 16 cards face down in a *4x4 grid*. Randomly determine who goes first. LET'S PLAY: On your turn, secretly look at *two cards* from the grid. If they share a *color* or *mana value*, you may reveal them, announce what matches and take those cards, then take another turn.

2+ players | 1+ packs | 5 minutes | d20 OBJECTIVE: As you enter the room, the terrible dragon opens its eyes and lets out a roar. Everybody... roll for initiative! Roll a d20 and modify the result with some _Magic_ cards to get the highest initiative! GET READY: Open a booster and remove all cards without _Magic_ card backs. Use an additional booster for groups of five players or more. Shuffle, then deal the same number of cards to each player. If there are extra cards after dealing, set them aside. Each player then rolls a d20 to determine their *initiative*. In case of a tie, the tied players roll again. The player with the lowest starting initiative goes first. LET'S PLAY: On each player's turn, they play a card to modify a player's initiative (see reverse side for card effects). Cards with effects that will be counted at the end of the game should be placed in front of the target player. All other cards go into the discard pile.
