Magic the Gathering was a staple of my university house, and we’d often crowd for multiplayer showdowns using decks built of old cards salvaged from a friend’s extensive collection.

Inferni playtests are ongoing on Steam, and we at PCGamesN spoke to lead designer Will Luton at WASD 24 about the project.
