After 2023’s Gen Con — the biggest tabletop gaming convention in America — the biggest news was the real-life heist: Two men were caught on camera casually wheeling a cart containing $300,000 worth of Magic: The Gathering cards out of the convention.

It’s a fate all too often reserved for bright, colorful, fun-first games that don’t obey the industry’s furrowed brow of grimdark severity. Well, apart from the ones with Pokémon in them.
