TCG
Strategic card hobby
TCG stands for trading card game—a game format where players collect cards and build decks to compete against others.
The genre includes physical games like Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon, as well as digital versions.
Cards are obtained through booster packs, trading, or purchase, with rare cards commanding high prices: I spent way too much on TCG booster boxes this month.
