The player must prevent any one color from gaining too much power, and defeat the planeswalker Arzakon, who has a deck of all five colors. The game takes place in the plane of Shandalar, where the player must travel the land and fight random enemies to gain cards, and defeat five wizards representing the five colors.
Named after the game itself, Magic: The Gathering was published by MicroProse in February 1997.
