  1. 8 out of 10

    So simple and yet so fun. One of my favorite solo roll and write games. Don't expect much. It's always the same thing: roll, buy "features" and try to fulfill as many contracts as possible. Yet it's fun, it's smooth, dice mitigation is perfectly balanced, and I can easily play several times in a row and not get tired of it. It's pretty addictive. The theme is minimal but it works and it's a pretty fun take on it. Production is good although the box is a bit massive for how simple the game is. But I don't see how they could have shrunk the sheets. For those who enjoy Set A Watch: there is very little connection between the two games. Merchants of Magick is a feel-good casual light game. Beyond the shared artwork, the two games are nothing alike in feel and play.

    Fantastic roll 'n write. Had the pleasure of learning to play from the designer, Clarence Simpson, at TantrumCon 2022.

    Literally the best Roll n Write game I've ever played and I'm not the biggest fan of the genre. The artwork is actually surreal. The designer seems like a rad dude as well! I want to share this game with everyone I know!

In Merchants of Magick, which takes place in the "Set a Watch" universe, you are the owner of a magic item shoppe, crafting items and research­ing spells to sell to the Adventurers of the Watch.

Each round, four polyhedral dice are rolled, then you select two of them to craft items or research enchantments for your shoppe. As you craft items and research spells, you start stocking items and earn potions that let you manipulate the dice. Adventurers travel from shoppe to shoppe, so you need to stock the exact items on the order cards in front of you. If you have an item an Adventurer needs, you earn coin — but if you wait too long to fulfill an order, Adventurers will become impatient and visit your competitor next door!

After ten rounds, the player who has earned the most coin wins.
