## Description
In Merchants of Magick, you take on the role of the owner of a magic item shop in the Set a Watch universe. Your goal is to craft items and research spells to sell to adventurers who visit your shop. Each round, four polyhedral dice are rolled, and you choose two of them to craft items or research enchantments. As you progress, you stockpile items and gain potions that allow you to manipulate the dice. Adventurers have specific orders, and you need to stock the right items to fulfill them. If you can deliver what they need, you earn coins; but if you take too long, they’ll head to the competitor next door! After ten rounds, the player with the most coins wins. The game blends strategy, luck, and a touch of fantasy, perfect for those who enjoy dice rolling and resource management mechanics.
