The incredible true story behind the global gaming phenomenon.

Generation Decks tells the story of the mould-breaking fantasy card game, Magic: The Gathering. The brainchild of misfit maths genius Richard Garfield, Magic combines complex gameplay with collectability. When it came out in 1993 it transformed the lives of quiet braniacs who had longed for a way to connect and compete. It made millionaires of its creators, and it kick-started the era of professional gaming.

Titus Chalk tells the gameâ€™s story â€“ from its humble origins to its continued success in todayâ€™s digital age. Prepare to meet Generation Decks, a community like no other.
