Magic: The Gathering (MTG)
Launched in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast, Magic: The Gathering was one of the first collectible card games in the world.

Created by Richard Garfield, MTG invites players to become "planeswalkers", wizards with the power to summon creatures and spells to compete against others.

The game is distinguished by its rich strategy and an ever-expanding universe, with new sets introducing varied themes and mechanics.

In addition to a vast global community, MTG hosts a professional competitive circuit, including international tournaments and a world championship.

It is also available in digital formats like Magic: The Gathering Arena, offering a platform to play online.

Final Fantasy
Developed by Square Enix, the Final Fantasy series began in 1987 thanks to Hironobu Sakaguchi.

This RPG has been distinguished by its innovation, stunning graphics, and thrilling music, mostly composed by Nobuo Uematsu.

Each game introduces a new world and characters, though it maintains recurring elements such as chocobos and moogles.

The series is renowned for its combat systems, evolving from turn-based battles to complex real-time tactics.

Moreover, titles like Final Fantasy VII have been key in popularizing RPGs in the West.

The franchise has transcended various platforms, adapting to technological evolution and achieving broad international success.
