Once upon a time…

A long, long, time ago, when there was still the famous Magician Academy in Stonehenge, the Apprentices had to undergo a long period of rigorous training. One of their many tasks was to master a deck of cards. The cards possessed powers and by proper manipulation of the cards these forces could be controlled.
Alas, over the years, a deeper understanding of the cards was lost. All that remained was an entertaining card game, which was often played in hotels by workmen, farmers, and soldiers.
It was only after the eminent English archaeologist Dr. Hensch Stone dug deeply under the standing stones of Stonehenge and discovered historical parchment scrolls in ancient vaults that the true history of Wizard again came to light.
