    I find it hard to believe that any Magic The Gathering fan won't like this game. I've caught myself playing the game hours on end.

    Could have benefited from a better interface, but at its core, Battlegrounds is still a good game.

    Instead of being boring, it's totally unbalanced and infuriating. [Jan 2004, p.142]

    Half you guys are full of it. some of you haven't even played the full game and you're raving about this! and Magic P - if you played for 36 hours in a weekend, it means you slept 6 hours a day and played all day apart from that. In other words, You're Full of Crap. In regards to the game - 14 spells per colour seems pretty few to me. I wonder how good online extensions would be? and how much they'd cost....(!)… Expand
