Description

Portal is a simplified version of the popular Magic: the Gathering game, designed to be easy to learn and fun to play, especially for new players. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, it's perfect for a quick gaming session with a friend, as it's designed for 2 players. The game retains some of the core features of Magic: the Gathering, but strips away some of the more complex abilities and interactions, making it more accessible to novice players. This means you can focus on the fun stuff, like summoning creatures and battling it out, without getting bogged down in complicated rules. The game has a unique feel, with a focus on hand management and creature combat, and its fantasy theme adds an extra layer of excitement. The cards themselves are easily recognizable, with a distinctive look that sets them apart from other Magic: the Gathering cards. With its easy-to-learn rules and fast-paced gameplay, Portal is a great introduction to the world of collectible card games, and its compact playtime makes it easy to fit in a game whenever you want. First published in 1997, Portal has stood the test of time, and its simplicity and fun factor make it a great choice for anyone looking for a quick and exciting gaming experience.
