Card collectors compete.
Where will you find youth using reading, comprehension, communication and planning skills outside a classroom? At a collectible card tournament.
This past weekend's Yu-Gi-Oh tournament at Kommissar's Lounge in Weed included 36 contestants and an equal number of observers. Combatants, both boys and girls ranging in age from 7 to 16, battled it out with their chosen decks of Yu-Gi-Oh cards hoping to be the one to take away the grand prize, a coveted ultra-rare Egyptian God Card "Slifer the Sky Dragon" and a Red Dragon statue from Soul Connections of Mount Shasta.
