About the game

What is Mystic Market?

Enter a mysterious world where enchanted commodities are bought and sold for profit. Mystic Market is an exciting, fast-paced card game where players buy and sell magical Potion-making Ingredients. The unique Value Track ensures that the Ingredients’ values will be constantly shifting, so only the shrewdest of traders will prevail. Will you profit from selling Phoenix Feathers? Craft Potions to meddle with your opponent’s plans? Corner the market on Kraken Tentacles? Do you have what it takes to earn the largest fortune in the Enchanted World? —description from the publisher
