I’ve known plenty of girls that play pokemon TCG and MTG, yugioh not as popular in my area. They’re just not as visible about it because guys get fucking weird about it.
I’m thankful I had younger sisters so I (apart from a bit of the usual teenage awkwardness) didn’t get creepy about the opposite sex.
I didn’t think I would like it because I like colony sims and city builders where I’m just playing the same map for extended periods, but I gave it a try on game pass and ended up playing hundreds of hours. It’s something special.
