Mimic Match // Mimic Match (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.

4 players | 2 packs | 45 minutes | d6 OBJECTIVE: Use the cards in a booster to inspire your own one-shot adventure! GET READY: Pick one player to be the *Dungeon Master* (DM). The DM opens a booster and selects a hand of 6 non-land _Magic_ cards to inspire the adventure. They then open a second booster and deal 4 non-land _Magic_ cards to each of the three other players. These cards represent *actions*. Discard all remaining cards. *Actions:* Card color represents the *type* of action, and mana value represents its *power*. • White = Charisma (coercion, leadership, etc.) • Blue = Intelligence (investigation, knowledge, arcane lore, etc.) • Black = Strength (melee attacks, climbing, moving large objects, etc.) • Red = Dexterity (ranged attacks, dodging, sleight of hand, etc.) • Green = Wisdom (common sense, intuition, empathy, etc.) • Colorless = Constitution (running, swimming, resisting disease, etc.)

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.
