The National Toy Hall of Fame is housed at The Strong - National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York.
Magic: The Gathering changed the landscape of collectible card gaming with its introduction more than 25 years ago, and it’s become a part of pop culture—leading to book series, electronic games, and even a series on Netflix,” Curator Shannon Symonds said of the selection. “The fact that it continues to maintain popularity is a testament to its revolutionary gameplay and constant evolution, making it engaging for beginners and experts alike.”
