I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

Okay, today I'm going to talk about a set, but an old, old, old set.

Today, I'm going to talk about the very first expansion, Arabian Nights.

Okay, so be aware, let me put the caveat here, is most of these stories that I tell you,

I was there for us making it.

The first set I started working on was antiquities, and so every set from antiquities forward,

at least I was there for, at least the development, if not the design.

But Arabian Nights predates me.

So everything I'm telling you is secondhand material,

taken from first-hand accounts.

So I might miss a factor two,

but hopefully I will be pretty accurate.

I previously did a podcast on Homelands,

which, while I was one of the playtesters for,

I wasn't actually in the building for. So, um, anyway, I'm trying to over the course of my podcast hit all

the expansions eventually. So, um, why not some of the early ones? Okay, so Ruby Nights, we go back

to 1993.

So Magic came out in 1993 in July.

This product was actually released to some of the world, some parts, in December of that year.

So Rabian Nights had 78 cards.

You heard me correct.

78.
