      It's beneficial for masters to teach others how to play, even give them their secrets, because they've already mastered them. The person they're teaching has yet to. The game isn't just about winning... it's about being challenged and still winning. Easy wins aren't fun.

      Lol 26 as well. Used to play the game back when it was in the vending machines in the grocery and pharmacy stores in queens NY where I grew up the first half of my life. Was a lot of fun. When I was 8 back in 2003 😊 Collected from 2000 on. My gma has a whole binder of my old cards I need to check them out still. But I started to collect again almost 2 years ago 💛

    One thing I think really went wrong with the trading cards is just how busy the artwork on the new designs is
