Wizard’s Museum is a simple game of tile placement and set-collecting with surprisingly deep tactical play. During the game, players take turns placing tiles representing various magical artifacts, choosing either to add to their own Museum or to their opponent’s. Building sets of adjoining artifacts earns a player points at the end of the game, while placing them into an opponent’s play area blocks future moves and, in some circumstances, gives negative points.

 

A game usually takes half an hour or less. Afterward, players spend a couple of minutes scoring their Museums determine the winner. The game is easy to pack away and quick to set up, making it ideal for either short play when there is no time for a longer game, or for several games played back-to-back.
