As the coronavirus continues to impact various facets of everyday life, a multitude of businesses have started to grind to a halt in response to the virus. As a result, business establishments and public events have begun to shut down. The most recent company being Wizards of the Coast.

Wizards of the Coast is a subsidiary of Hasbro Inc. and is one of the most well-known board game and card game publishers to have ever existed. The company publishes Magic: The Gathering cards and developed multiple new iterations of the world-renowned roleplaying game, Dungeons & Dragons. The most recent iteration, known as the 5th edition, has garnered quite a bit of popularity and has slowly brought Dungeons & Dragons into the mainstream.

As the popularity of D&D and Magic has risen, this has led to a trend that most game shops have already adopted, where campaigns and tournaments are held in person at various stores. This allows players from various communities to get together and bond over the games they love. It also allows new players to learn how to play each game effectively with the help of more seasoned players.

However, with the threat of coronavirus becoming much more apparent by the day, Wizards of the Coast has unfortunately made an executive decision. All in-store play of Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons has been officially suspended until May 10th. This news comes a mere two weeks after Wizards of the Coast initiated a work from home policy for all of its employees.

It is rather unfortunate how this disease has impacted so many aspects of day to day life. In the span of a few months, so many companies have initiated similar work from home policies, multiple cities across America have issued a quarantine, and a multitude of public events have been canceled. This rather disappointingly includes the highly anticipated E3 2020.

At the same time, it shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone anymore. These companies are simply doing their part to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and this includes shutting down public gatherings, no matter how big or how small. From this year's E3 to simple meet-ups at game shops, every precaution needs to be taken. Having said all this, for those who still want their fix of D&D or Magic, there are multiple online versions of each game that people can use as a means of waiting out the quarantine.
