Review of Magic - The stories behind the game's evolution

The stories behind the game's evolution

☆

“The host, Mark Rosewater, is a creative director for the Magic: The Gathering card game. During the podcast, which takes place during his daily drive to work (hence the title) he talks about different topics such as card types, details of specific expansions, why certain rules came about, personal anecdotes, and other points about the game design. As a fan of the game I find this pretty interesting, and I learn things I had not noticed from simply playing the game with friends. The length of episodes is generally under a half hour, so each discussion is focused and easy to fit into my personal schedule to listen to without losing interest or having to pause and come back like longer 1- or 2-hour podcasts. The podcast is recorded in a single take without significant editing so there are hiccups in his narration (such as trying to remember specific words or names), but this does not occur often and Mark is a very animated speaker who clearly is enthusiastic about his work. If you do enjoy the Magic card game and wish to know more about how it came to be I highly recommend this podcast.”
