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

We LOVE this game! I confess I only got it because I was intrigued by the potions bottle rack fake and wanted to see the quality of the materials firsthand, especially the price and wasn't sure about the game mechanics. It turns out to be loads of fun, easy to learn and teach, and fast to play! Ideal for playing on the coffee table after dinner as it takes up relatively little space. The art on the cards is great, the potion bottles are nice and feel good, the box is small and portable and everything fits perfectly, no problem unpacking or loading back. Was totally surprised how much we loved it. It's particularly advantageous for the price and has a lot of replay value due to the random nature of the deck. We only played with two players and had enough fun to play multiple times. We play with two players almost 100% of the time and find the game well balanced for two players, but I think Mystic Market can also be an interesting game for the whole family, can be more fun and requires more strategy with more players. I guess it will appeal to those who play less often due to its affordability and those darn cute potion bottles. By the way, they sparkle inside! All in all a very recommendable easy game of "commodity speculation".
