Musical Magic!!
This is for people who are not so much concerned with winning
as with having a hysterically fun time playing Magic. Everyone sits around
the table and begins a normal multiplayer game. Set a timer for about ten
minutes. When the timer goes off, whoever is taking a turn finishes that
turn. Than that person rolls a six-sided die. Each player than moves that
number of seats clockwise around the table,than play resumes. Now we're
all playing with a different deck.
Every ten minutes players rotate again based on the die-roll.
You never know where you're going to end up!
If a seat dies while you're sitting there, stack its cards
in a neat pile and wait until the next rotation. If you wind up at a seat
with active cards, you're back in the game!! If you get to a dead seat,
it's a good time to use the restroom or make a sandwich. When the game
gets down to two decks left, those two players finish the game. Usually
every player feels that he or she has contributed to the win, because almost
everyone has played in that seat at some point in the game. There is generally
a great deal of laughter during this whole melee. Players have been known
to Fireball themselves, because they knew in a few minutes they wouldn't
sitting in the same spot any more! But then again,you never know...you
could wind up in that seat at the bitter end, so you'd better be careful...
