With the invention of virtual entertainment, daily interactions between individuals have diminished. The availability of instant pleasure has reduced human interaction in people's daily activities to the minimum possible. In the small and growing community of board game players, this social norm has not yet taken hold. By observing this community first-hand, we can better understand its ability to stand the test of time and continue to grow even in the face of the rapidly changing virtual world. To better understand this, it is imperative to take a look into the background of an avid board game player. By comparing this with the knowledge of the culture I have experienced, I will be able to get an idea of ​​this mysterious phenomenon. This led me to arrange a personal interview with a die-hard Magic the Gathering player to discuss what attracts him to playing card games and whether he enjoys these games more than virtual games. During my visit to the Tucson Game and Gadgets game store, I encountered a Magic. the Gathering card game player named Sean. We first met on a Saturday at the game store when I was looking for someone to explain the rules of this game to me. I approached him at the store counter where he was looking at different types of cards through the window. I introduced myself and asked him if he would be interested in participating in an interview for my school project. He agreed to meet me the following Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Tucson Game and Gadgets store. Sean is a lanky six-foot individual whose passion for gaming seemed to make him an ideal candidate to explain to me the roots of the gaming experience. I decided to meet him at the game store for our interview due to convenience for both of us. Sean came in looking like an average player... middle of paper ...... the interview with Sean allowed me to I learned new information about table games and I also confirmed some previous hypotheses. Sitting down with Sean taught me that the gaming community is vital to the social health of local students. Also, this culture is not limited to card games alone. There are many different types of games and people who enjoy playing them. The idea that culture develops was confirmed by observations and by my interview with Sean. This is explained by the pleasure of playing these games that I had the chance to experience personally. As I learned through literary research, a sense of community is very important in board game culture and even outweighs the need to win the game (Gobet). Having not won many matches against Sean, I can confidently say that a sense of community is definitely key to the future of tabletop gaming..
