Adapt/ simplify MTG rules for Kids
Hi! I wrote an article on my blog about adapting MTG rules for kids and I thought it would be interesting for some parents with small kids who have yet to learn how to read.
To get in context, I have a 6-years-old daughter who wanted to play with me. I tried to teach her some rules but, given that she can’t read yet, was a little hard to explain everything. Then I also realized that she didn’t like some concepts (like graveyard), so I adapted the rules in a way that, I hope, will be easier for her to understand the real rules when she grows up (and that it will be easier for me to explain).
The result is that we have played many times since and we have had fun :)
If you have improvements to the article, such as other rules, I would be happy to read them.
Cheers, and happy game :)

As a kid who grew up watching my brothers play mtg back in the 90's ( circa 95 when i was 6 ), i can tell you thats a great idea!
