What's with TCG players and hygiene? I remember my MtG days when you couldn't attend a single tournament without at least two of your opponent smelling like spicy corpses.

What’s with TCG players and hygiene?

It's mostly just men hitting puberty and developing glands and pores they didn't have before.

You're going to find all the same smells in the locker room and the band van and the construction site. Anywhere you've got adolescent men congregating. Especially if there's bad ventilation and poor AC.

You hit puberty anywhere between 11 and 14... I dont think thats the main crowd.

Definitely not the leading cause of TCG-smell. But that is a complicating factor for that age group

What about the middle aged stinkers? What’s their excuse?

Why can't they be... taught? To clean themselves?
