I'm kind of blown away by how popular that game has gotten over the past few years in North America. I think the pandemic really accelerated the popularity of that and D&D, people are still doing these things after all of that. Even saw someone playing over the phone the other day. I don't seem to remember it being so popular but now it's more than ever and hardly a surprise tbh
- lghh 3y agoThe two biggest reasons for this are that the format Commander has specifically blown up in popularity and Wizards of the Coast making a first-party desktop/mobile client MtG Arena to compete with games like Hearthstone. Commander is a 4-player casual format that's has as much in common with more typical board games as it does with traditional MtG. Arena is likely what you saw someone playing on their phone. Funnily enough, it doesn't support Commander!
