Magic: The Gathering’s head designer, Mark Rosewater, is very excited for his latest project. It’s also his longest one. He has been working on and championing a game that features another prolific game designer’s credit on every booster pack and pre-constructed deck for 31 years. For 28 of those years, Mark has been cooking up his own game, taking everything he’s learned designing cards and mechanics over his storied career to make the simplest trading card game possible. With the upcoming release of Mood Swings, a new TCG prototype coming soon from Wizards of the Coast, Rosewater finally has a product he can call his own. At MagicCon Vegas, we spoke with the long-time Magic developer about the emotions printed on the cards and the ones he wears on his sleeve about the journey getting Mood Swings out of his mind and into the hands of the public.
