Trading card game Magic: The Gathering is still going strong, 21 years after it was launched.

Trading card game (TCG) Magic: The Gathering is a big deal. To put it in perspective, Magic has replaced popular board game Monopoly as Hasbro’s best-selling game. “It’s a big achievement for us involved in the game,” says Wilkin Chan, 34, Asia-Pacific senior brand manager for Wizards Of The Coast, a Hasbro subsidiary specialising in fantasy and sci-fi games.
