Untitled[edit]

One point to make about Strat-O-Matic: It was a primary inspiration for the inventor of Magic: The Gathering, which spawned the even more popular Po-Ke-Mon card gamej, which is probably the most popular card game in history. I know this because the inventor, Richard Garfield, told me this years ago at a sales meeting, and has mentioned it many times in multiple interviews.


The advertisement for the Strat-o-Matic football game that appears in various football mags before each season is the EXACT same ad that has been running since I was a kid in the late 70s; really bizarre. And it's written in such odd syntax, with such corny cliche's-- very weird. I presume I'm not the only person that's noticed this.

No, you're not...and the game's packaging and design has made only token changes in that time period as well. And some people wonder why these games are in decline... Thunderbunny 00:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I don't get it. Is this a card collectible game or what? 68.17.232.180 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:57, 30 November 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Deleted most references to specific leagues. May even still have too much about the East Meadow league. Sorry, guys... DwaynefromME (talk) 01:29, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
