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 have not been looked kindly upon, either in pre-War or post-War society.

Appearances
Tragic the Garnering™ appears only in Fallout 2, though it is mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas; in a terminal entry at the H&H Tools factory. Human resources did not want any employees of H&H to have anything to do with Tragic players.

Behind the scenes
Tragic the Garnering™ is a parody of Magic: the Gathering. The names of cards are similar as well: Vox Muby is a parody of Mox Ruby and Black Dahlia/Black Orchid of Black Lotus, and "Earths" are the equivalent of Lands.
