Who doesn\u2019t love them (and if you don\u2019t, why are you spending so much time on Magic?). In our community, they\u2019re a great way to unwind after an event, learn something at a conference, get to know each other better or keep us focused on our tasks at an event.<\/p>\n<p>You like games? We\u2019ve got them for you right here. Once a month every month. Some will be my own brews, others will be shamelessly stolen from other while crediting them for the effort. Maybe I can trick some people into guest posts.<\/p>\n<p>Props to Kaja for making me rewrite this intro. For the original, lame introduction, keep reading.<\/p>\n<p>But seriously, just skip to the game descriptions.<\/p>\n<p>OK, you\u2019ve been warned.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Judge Games \u2013 a new blog about games in the judging world.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/gatherer.wizards.com\/Handlers\/Image.ashx?multiverseid=8902&amp;type=card\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"310\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I consider myself pretty well-versed in different board and card games. I also like to tinker with games and make up my own. One day I thought to myself \u2013 why not see what games can be adapted for the Magic Judge?<\/p>\n<p>In this blog I plan to present games that can be used both in tournaments as team building or motivation during a long day. I also want to present some games that can used after the tournament or at a judge conference or meet-up. These will be adapted from commercial or traditional games and games totally made up. I plan to get in touch with other judges who have run games and put up their ideas here. On occasion I plan to review some games that while aren\u2019t tied to Magic, are still a good game to play while we wind down after a tournament or conference.<\/p>\n<p>Initially I thought to run this as a project, but projects come with overhead, commitments, dependencies, and an expectancy of deliverables. As I don\u2019t have that enough time for that nor do I think the topics I will cover here fit the bill, I decided to settle on a blog.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to commit to at least six entries posted once a month. The first post will come a week after this one, to get into the groove.<\/p>\n<p>See you on Wednesday, when time\u2019s up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this blog I plan to present games that can be used both in tournaments as team building or motivation during a long day.
