Collectible Card Game Info and Links
Pokemon
The Pokémon Trading Card Game is a collectible card game were players use Pokémon cards, with individual strengths and weaknesses, in an attempt to defeat their opponent by "knocking out" his or her Pokémon cards. Players of the game are designated as Pokémon Trading Trainers and the two general goals for such Trainers are: to complete the Pokedex by collecting all of the available Pokémon species found in the fictional region where that game takes place; and to train a team of powerful Pokémon from those they have caught to compete against teams owned by other Trainers, and eventually become the strongest Trainer, the Pokémon Master.

Players usually duel on a layout with six zones: - Deck Zone - where the player's deck is placed face down.
- Monster Zone - where Monster cards are played. Up to five monsters can be in play at once.
- Spell and Trap Zone - where Spell and/or Trap cards are placed. Up to five spells or traps can be in play at once.

Magic The Gathering
In a game of Magic, two or more players are engaged in a battle as powerful wizards called "planeswalkers". A player starts the game with twenty "life points" and loses when he or she is reduced to zero or less. The most common method of reducing an opponent's life is to attack with summoned creatures. Although reducing an opponent to zero life is the most common way of winning (or losing) the game, drawing from an empty deck (called the "library" during the game) will also cause a player to lose. In addition, some cards specify other ways to win or lose the game.
Players begin the game with seven cards in hand. The two basic card types in Magic are "spells" and "lands". Lands provide "Mana", or magical energy, which is used as magical fuel when the player attempts to cast spells. For complete game rules go to:
