I Played 'Magic: The Gathering -- Arena of the Planeswalkers' And All I Got Was Drunk
I am a huge fan of Magic: The Gathering. This collectible card game by Hasbro -owned Wizards of the Coast has been around nearly as long as I have. So when Hasbro offered to send me a review copy of Magic: The Gathering – Arena of the Planeswalkers ($29.99), I thought it was my lucky day.
However, Magic: The Gathering it ain’t. I encountered a significant learning curve that my years of play experience did little to alleviate. This is a game for people who are serious about board games—people who aren’t swayed by lots of little pieces or 20 pages of rules. I recently tested out the game with some friends, and this is how it went for us.
The box is on the larger side when it comes to board games—about 15 inches long—and is packed to the brim. It came with four hexagonal-gridded boards that fit together, 11 dice, dozens of tiny red damage counters, five plastic player avatars (AKA “planeswalkers”), and two groups of “squad” avatars—which serve as armies—for each player. The avatars were split into five colors—white, blue, black, red and green—just like in Magic: The Gathering. Unlike in Magic, there’s no creative deck building. You have to devote yourself to just one color and stick with it.
Of course, the heart of the game lies in the cards that came with all this, 12 enchantment spells, two creature spells, and one planeswalker card per color. I’m certain this sounds like gibberish if you haven’t played the card game, hence the enormous rule tome. We learned that the object of the game is to use our planeswalkers and squads to outmaneuver opponents for tactical advantages in key locations in the play area. "Be the last Planeswalker standing to win!" the game suggests.
Acquiring my husband and two of our friends—who love Magic: The Gathering as much as I do—was the easy part. Keeping everyone entertained long enough to through the 20-page rulebook was more difficult. I found that plying everyone with alcohol was a fitting solution. Keeping with the colorful theme of Magic: The Gathering, I fixed green Gin and Tonics with extra lime and red Whiskey Sours with extra cherries. If the game had kept going, I would have graduated to Blue Hawaiians.
I was already on my second drink of the evening before we had the board set up, after a full 45 minutes of reading the rules and setting up the pieces. We each selected a planeswalker avatar to lead our plastic squads around the hexagonal spaces on the board. “Wait, so this is Warhammer ?” my husband quipped, referring the extremely complex table-top game, in which hardcore players move miniatures around an arena and talk battle tactics.
The Gameplay
As you might expect for a game with so many components and rules, turn-taking is pretty complicated in Arena of the Planeswalkers. Each person’s turn was split into five parts. Draw a card from your enchantment deck and cast up to three cards from your hand if desired, choose an army (or your planeswalker) to complete an action this turn, move, attack, and cast more spells if you haven’t hit the three-spell limit yet. If an attack does occur, that’s another interaction, with the attacker and defender rolling a set of dice to randomly determine how much damage has been done. Whew!
Our starting positions influenced our aggressions throughout the game. I, the green player, spent much of my time attacking blue, while red and black went after each other. It reminded us all of the way Magic: The Gathering is intended to be a two-player game, and we suspect that Arena of the Planeswalkers is also ideal that way. Because of the limited movement and attacking we could do per turn, it made sense to focus on just one person instead of to force yourself to fight a war on three fronts. The biggest reason for this is that you can’t cast defensive spells when it isn’t your turn. Instead, you’d have to wait while three different armies have their way with you before you can come up with a response.
Calling It Quits
The game says that a 4-player game should continue for 48 turns. But after three hours and 25 turns, we were all Planeswalkered out. Since everyone knew this was my review copy, I then spent another 30 minutes listening to my friends’ praise and criticism for the game.
“I had a fun time playing the game. but I’m not sure if we were playing it right,” said the black player. She probably would have come out on top if we kept going.
“I wish there had been more detail in the avatars, like with HeroClix ,” the blue player observed. HeroClix are game pieces, but they double as collectible miniatures. As seasoned Magic players, my friends know that the value of a single card can rise into the tens of thousands . To attract the same collectors that Magic does, Wizards of the Coast might want to devote as much quality to the board game pieces as it does to its beautifully detailed cards.
“Maybe we wouldn’t have wasted as much time if there was a Quick Start Guide,” the red player said. “Or if the rulebook had an appendix where we could look up all the terms.” Learning to play a new board game is always tough, and our experience indicated that even if you already play Magic: The Gathering, you don’t get a free pass with figuring out the board game.
Overall, I’d recommend Magic: The Gathering – Arena of the Planeswalkers to seasoned Magic players with plenty of free time looking for a completely different way to interact with the characters, creatures, and spells they already know and love. But if the passion for Magic isn’t already in you somewhere—or you've been drinking and don't have the mindset for plenty of rules—you’re better off playing something less complicated.

The presence of occult blood in the stool can be indicative of various gastrointestinal disorders such as ulcers, gastritis, colorectal cancer, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, and hemorrhoids. Further evaluation, including endoscopy, colonoscopy, or imaging tests, may be necessary to determine the cause of the occult blood. There are several factors that can contribute to the presence of occult blood in the stool. These include bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal tract, bleeding from the lower gastrointestinal tract, and certain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and anticoagulants. The occult blood test involves collecting a stool sample and testing it for the presence of blood using a chemical reaction. The test is commonly used as a screening tool for colorectal cancer and can help detect early-stage cancers or precancerous polyps. In summary, occult blood in the stool is a symptom of various gastrointestinal conditions and can be identified using the occult blood test. The ICD-10 code for occult blood in the stool is R19.5, although additional codes may be required to identify the underlying cause. Further evaluation and testing may be necessary to determine and treat the specific condition causing the occult blood..

1. Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "Occult Blood ICD 10" as I enjoy thrillers and the occult theme intrigued me. However, I found the story to be confusing and lacking depth. The characters were underdeveloped and their motivations were unclear. The plot seemed like a jumble of random events rather than a cohesive narrative. Overall, I was disappointed and struggled to stay engaged throughout the book.
2. John - 1 star - I honestly cannot understand the hype around "Occult Blood ICD 10". The writing was choppy and filled with grammatical errors that made it difficult to read. The story itself didn't make much sense and felt extremely forced. The characters were flat and unrelatable, making it hard to care about their fates. I had high expectations for this book, but it turned out to be a major letdown.
3. Emily - 2 stars - "Occult Blood ICD 10" had an intriguing premise, but the execution fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, with very little happening for the majority of the book. I found myself skimming through pages just to get to some action or plot development, which was few and far between. The writing style also didn't resonate with me, as it felt overly descriptive and lacked substance. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
4. Mark - 1 star - I couldn't even finish "Occult Blood ICD 10" because it was so poorly written. The dialogue was cringeworthy, with unnatural and stilted conversations. The characters were one-dimensional and their actions felt implausible. The plot was confusing, with unnecessary subplots that contributed nothing to the overall story. I was expecting a gripping occult thriller, but instead, I got a mess of a book that was painful to read. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this one.
