Magic the Gathering Club

We will practice the basics of magic, one-on-one and multiplayer games, improve our competitive strategy skills, and learn a lot of English vocabulary in the process. We'll see what the club members want - maybe we're just playing casual games at MAIA, or we can go to the card game stores in Worcester and Fitchburg to compete and even win some prizes! If you like strategy games in a fun fantasy environment, this club is for you. Magic: The party club meets in the cafeteria.
