Tragic the Garnering

Tragic the Garnering is a collectible card game. The cards are quest items in Fallout 2. Wooz, the Gecko bartender is probably the only person left who knows how to play it. Known cards are Vox Muby, and Black Dahlia. One of the kinds of cards in the game is called Earths. Tragic players are not looked kindly upon, both in pre- and post-War society.

Quotes

 * Tragic the Garnering is the most addictive thing since Jet. - Wooz
 * Well, Tragic the Garnering isn’t just a game -- it’s an obsession. Not a cologne, either. Some think that the way it changes a person’s life is tragic, but they just don’t understand. - Wooz

Locations

 * A deck can be found in the same locker as the tanker fob in Navarro.
 * Another deck can be found in Vic's store in Klamath.

Tragic the Garnering appears only in Fallout 2, though it is mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * Tragic the Garnering is a parody of Magic: the Gathering. Even the names of cards are similar - Vox Muby is an equivalent of Mox Ruby, Black Dahlia of Black Lotus and 'Earths' are the equivalent of 'Lands'.
 * Wooz's remark that it's 'not a cologne' is a reference to the Calvin Klein brand of cologne: 'Obsession'.
 * The idea of people being looked down on for playing Tragic is a comical refrence to people in real life being considered "nerds" for playing card games like Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, etc.
