apparently there is an open source version of mtg based on a standard deck of cards which has been around since the 70s and possibly was the inspiration for mtg

- r00fus 3y agoFascinating. While my elderly dad is amazing at competitive card games he doesn’t like any game that doesn’t use the standard 52 card deck. I’ll give this a shot! It’s really possible that Cuttle was the predecessor to Magic.

It's also an amazing conversation catalyst as it takes off the pressure to constantly talk and introduces opportunities for unusual spontaneously arising subjects. Current favorites are Spite and Malice and Gin Rummy - pretty much everybody seems to enjoy those games. Cuttle I haven't tried, yet, and it's obviously not a game you can learn within ten minutes and just play. But I keep it on the radar.
