Geocache Description:


EST:

Magic The Gathering (MTG) on 1993. aastal ilmunud kaardimäng, mille lõi Ameerika ettevõte Wizards of the Coast. 2015. aasta seisuga oli maailmas umbes 20 miljonit mängijat ning see arv on pidevas kasvus. Magicut saab mängida kaks või enam mängijat ning paljudes erinevates formaatides. Kõige tavalisem neist on selline, kus mängijad mängivad 60 kaardise pakiga ning 20 elupunktiga. Mängija eesmärgiks on oma vastase/vastaste elud nulli viia, käies mängulauale erinevaid kaarte ehk "spelle", mille hulgas on nii maakaarte, koletisi kui ka erinevaid loitse. Mäng põhineb viiel erineval värvil: valge (plains), roheline (forest), must (swamp), sinine (island) ning punane (mountain). Neil kõigil on oma mütoloogilised mängusisesed lood, tugevused ning nõrkused, mis teevadki selle mängu eriliseks ning põnevaks, kuna mäng on tegijate poolt väga hoolikalt läbi mõeldud. Paar korda aastas ilmuvad ka uued temaatikad ehk "setid" ning laiendused ehk "expansionid", millega kaasneb ka alati uusi kaarte, millega mängijad oma pakke täiendada saavad. Kaardid jaotuvad mängus nelja põhirühma: tavalised ehk "commonid", ebatavalisemad ehk "uncommonid", haruldased ehk "rare" ning üliharuldased ehk "mythic rare" kaardid. Kuna Magic on suuresti ka kogumismäng, siis on nii mõnedki kaardid mängu esimestest väljaannetest (nt. 1993. aastal ilmunud Alpha set, kust tulid kõige esimesed kaardid mängu) vägagi hinnalised. Hetkel kalleim müüdud kaart on justnimelt sellest samast setist ilmunud kaart nimega Black lotus, mis müüdi maha 27 000 dollari eest. Seda just selle kaardi väga väikse tiraaži tõttu. Enamus kaarte aga siiski nii kallid pole ning jäävad isegi loetud sentide piiresse.

Magicu teemalist aaret ei teinud ma aga juhuslikult. Olen ka ise aktiivne mängija.

Nüüd aga mõistatusest: Aarde asukoha teada saamiseks tuleb lahendada mõistatus, mis põhineb mõnel paljudest Magicu kaartidest. Hättajäämisel uuri vihjet.

Aare asub koordinaatidel: 59° A' B.C" 24° D' E.F"

Natuke kaarte jätsin aardesse ka vahetuskaubaks.

 

ENG:

This geocache is dedicated to Magic The Gathering (MTG), which is one of the world's most popular trading card games created in 1993 by an american company Wizards of the Coast. By 2015 the game had approximately 20 million players, and the number is growing in a fast pace. Magic can be played by two or more players in many different formats. The most played one is where players have 60 card decks and 20 lifepoints. Player has to take their opponents lifepoints to 0 by casting lands, creatures and other spells. Game has 5 different colours: white (plains), green (forest), black (swamp), blue (island) and red (mountain). They all have their own in-game stories, pros and cons, which all make the game so amazing and fascinating, as everything is well thought-out by the creators. Couple of times a year new sets and expansions are released, with which players can update their packs with lots of new cards. Cards are divided into 4 rarity groups: commons, uncommons, rares and mythic rares. As it is a trading card game, it means that some of the cards are very pricey. The most expensive Magic card ever sold is Black lotus from the Alpha set released in 1993 (the very first set in the game) for 27 000 USD. Though, most of the cards are not that expensive and can be bought for reasonably low prices.

Now to the cache itself: To get the coordinates you have to solve a mystery based on six different Magic cards amongst many other. For that, look at the pictures added in the gallery. When in trouble, peek the hint.

Cache is located at: 59° A' B.C" 24° D' E.F"

I also left some Magic cards in the cache for trading.
