Review on ThinkFun Mystic Market Strategy Card Game - Exciting Fast Paced Game for Families and Gamers by Corey Burgess

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pleasant Surprise!: Card Games

I was looking for a quick two player game that was as simple, fun and awesome as Jaipur. This one meets these requirements for a very reasonable price (less than $20) and allows and even plays very well with 4 players in less than 30 minutes! It's as much fun as it adds an addictive potions dynamic that constantly changes in value and cost, with a smart potions rotation meter your luck can change instantly for better or worse without knowing who ends up winning of cards that you can use to craft potions that give you special actions and sometimes coins)! Easy to teach, the kids asked to play it again and were of course mesmerized by the potions demonstration. I could really see how often we are drawn to this game, maybe even more than now to Jaipur! It definitely deserves a spot on the gaming shelf and is a great, fun casual game to play anytime, or an add-on if you don't have the time or inclination for heavier games, get it!
