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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very cute, reminiscent of Jaipur

Received and played this game today; felt the need to quickly write a review. For starters: Other games I really like are Jaipur, Wingspan, Everdell, Patchwork, Herbaceous, Truffle Shuffle, Isle of Cats, Calico, Karuba, Tiny Towns, Dreamwell, Trails of Tucana, and Parks. . So if you like any of these games, you might like this simple little game, just like me. I'll totally admit it: I bought this game because of the cute bottles, the low price ($20 at the time of this review) and the good reviews. My partner and I played this game as soon as it was delivered (it's advertised as a 'family game' but we don't have kids) and we loved it! It's easy, easy to learn, but there's a bit of strategy behind it (we found that out the more we played). This is a great game if you're looking for something like an easy fill-in game, an introductory game, or what I call an easy "afternoon game". Perfect for when I'm tired from work, want to play a game but don't have the energy to rush into a longer and more difficult game. For $20 I'd say it's a great purchase and something fun to add to the collection. I'm happy with that. The quality is great too! The art is beautiful and fun.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
