The Magic Shop

Description

All who enter the Magic Shop experience the ultimate mysteries. But in the end, they are unable to resist its allure and are absorbed forever as part of the shop. There is only one way to escape the impending doom: to prove yourself a true magician by performing a trick powerful enough to surpass the magic of the shop itself. There are 5 suits in the game, each possessing its own unique Magic Effect. The Wine reshapes order and changes the trump suit. The Time Machine turns back time to alter predictions. The Eye flips the strength of numbers each time it blinks. The Door sends a card into another dimension, beyond everyone’s reach. The Invisible Man steals a trick you were about to win, then vanishes. The winner of each trick must use one of the revealed Magic Effects, so timing your choices and avoiding dangerous effects at the right moment is key to victory. Keep in mind that sometimes, your choice comes with a price— a penalty known as Thirst. -With a cheeky wink, the invisible man steps into the time machine and says, “Have a drink, and take this card.” —description from the publisher
