Miracle Merchant is an elegant solitaire-style card game where you play as the apprentice to a master alchemist. Your objective is to clear four stacks of ingredient cards by brewing potions to satisfy a queue of quirky adventurers. Each customer demands a specific primary ingredient, and mixing the right cards yields higher scores and better potions. You must carefully manage your hand and utilize special 'evil' cards strategically to ensure you can serve everyone.

Our Expert Score

94/100

Miracle Merchant is an absolute triumph in mobile game design. Blending solitaire-style card mechanics with a potion-brewing theme, it requires thoughtful planning and risk management. The goal is to clear four decks of ingredient cards by brewing potions for demanding customers, and balancing your resources so you don't run out of a specific color is deeply engaging.

The artwork is simply phenomenal. Arnold Rauers' distinct, quirky illustration style gives every customer and potion a vibrant personality. It's a quick game to play—taking only a few minutes per round—but it's so satisfying that I constantly find myself saying 'just one more game.' A must-play for card game enthusiasts.

Managing Evil Cards

Black 'evil' cards have negative values and clog your hand. Try to sandwich them between high-value colored cards that negate their penalty to safely discard them.

Has potential but

Sun Dec 26 2021 M.K 7432

I was looking for a game to play and I came across this one. At first I was hooked by the amazing graphics so I decided to give it a try. First opening this app I thought there was going to be more of a story but a few clicks a way and it’s to the game menu. There’s no tutorial that first popped up so I was confused and it took some time getting use to and it’s a relatively easy game. I took 1 star off because I was disappointed in 2 things, One being that it was miss leading. When I open to the main page the first thing I notice is the little add for purchasing the full game which made me loose motivation to play since there are so many things I could do but can’t because it cost money and Two being that it’s to simple. I wish there was more to the game, maybe a story, challenges, anything but I didn’t get that

Earlier I had given this game three stars in a review. I took the time to play the game three straight hours in a row, and that has convinced me to change my rating to five stars. Earlier, I had said the game didn't have the the same hook factor that grabbed me like Card Crawl and Card Thief. That's why I took three hours to really dive into the game. This game took time to grow on me. Once it did, I found quite a clever game behind the bright colors, wacky characters, and catchy music. Earlier I had said the game seemed too random, but as I played it more I found said randomness was more because it took me a while to really grasp the game. Once I really started figuring out how to make good card combos, and seeing how the game plays out, I realized the randomness was really my lack of truly understanding the game at first. Thanks to Arnold Rauers and Tiny Touch Tales for another delightful card game. Oh, if anybody is having problems running this game on older devices, go to the in game options menu and turn on the power save function. That cuts down on the game animations so it will run smoother. An added thank you to A.R. and T.T.T for putting that option into the game. Well, time for me to get back to making more potions — POOF!

Great card game; visually appealling

Thu Aug 06 2020 tservo3k

This is the third game app made by these guys I have played - so suffice to say I am fan of their games. Like most of them, there’s a card design going on - this one using color matching and alignments to score points. It does this fundamentally well. It creates interesting combinations for you to determine by adding negative effects that can impact your score. Lastly, it presents a list of new challenges every day for you to try and beat, plus there’s an online scoreboard for you to compare to. That’s the mechanics of the game, but what really sets it apart is the great use of artwork, theme, and music to make it really interesting to look at while you play. It makes for a fun game that doesn’t seem overly repetitive. There’s also an underlying fantasy world theme going on that ties it with their other games which I found interesting. Issues with the game are basically learning curve - easy to learn but not necessarily transparent on how you master it. The tutorial shows the mechanics, but understanding how to maximize points and what different terminology means (things like how you get a twin, triplet, or distillate) aren’t spelled out. Depending on your expectations, this can mean it can take awhile to catch all the details of play. In my experience, that’s a hallmark of all their games, so no surprise if you have played any of them. Overall, it’s a neat little game to occupy you for a short break or to unwind.

Needs improvement..

This game seems really fun; I love the art style and how the game works in general. However, I feel that after having played it for a day or two, it’s already getting a bit boring. I feel that there could be more types cards introduced, and perhaps show every card combination rather than just the main ones (duplexes, distillates, etc). However, one main bug that REALLY bothers me would be this; I have had multiple occasions where I made a new distillate, for example, but it doesn’t show up that I created a new potion even though I know I have for sure. This really is quite an excellent game, but it needs more… truly, I’m not sure what. Maybe, we could learn more about the customers that come into the store, or even the shopkeep that we see when we first open the app. It needs more background, maybe even a mini game or something like that. This really is a fun little game and I don’t regret buying it, but I still feel that it’s lacking something. Please look into the bug I mentioned! Thanks!

Honestly Amazing.

This game is great it is so perfectly created even for older phones wit the option to make the game run smoother. This game is amazing for so many reasons...here are a few 1.The art style feels and looks home made and is just so pleasing to look at. 2.The game play is refined and clean for hours of addicting fun. 3.So Many Spells, there are so many new things to learn I wonder how it was created as an indie game nonstop with how many spells and combinations to discover. There is so much more to this game...it is seriously the best game on my phone right now. Although I wish that the coins you get for completing twin,douplex,and stronger spells and just completing a round, I wish those coins could be used in the lobby to I don’t know but a new shop or a shader to your cards to the colors YOU like...that would be cool too. All in all it’s a game for honest good fun and is so rewarding every time you play...I would recommend it to all ages and people.

Best Mobile Game I’ve Ever Played

Wed Aug 12 2026 ItsCorvid

I can’t praise this game enough. I’ve played a lot of mobile games but this is one of the very few I was not only willing to buy in its entirety but has stuck around on my phone through every purge for years. No Ads, no money grabs, just beautiful and enjoyable game play. The art and npcs are full of character. And every replay is a new experience because of the randomization. Even after I’ve played the game thousands of times, I keep coming back because it’s satisfying but not in a mindless way like many other mobile games. And if you get bored of one game play mode there’s always the daily challenge you can compete for a leaderboard spot on, or go full completionist and try and make every type of potion. The game truly feels like it could be a PC game in terms of quality.

Amazing art, fun gameplay, no point

Thu Jan 20 2022 The Disney Fan

I was looking for a game when this caught my eye, if anything I’d try it for the art and it is. Every customer has so much life to them with their fun animations! The wealth of thought and style that goes into the ingredients even the backgrounds are a joy to look at! And the gameplay is pretty rich and complex so much fun running through the deck making the black cards work. (Tad annoying the last 3 customers can really screw your run over though) (oh and customers with their secondary trait as black usually you want to give a customer their secondary traits because they’ll double the value of that card if you give those people their secondary trait they double the negative and you can accidentally lose very easily) I burned through my 8 free uses of the game and decided $2 was a fair price for a game I could see my self playing multiple times. I logged in later that night when I had some downtime at work and realized. I had already experienced all the game had to offer. There is no progression. You’ll always see the same 13 customers and you’ll always have the exact same 52 cards. I thought it would be cool if the money you earned meant ANYTHING. It could be used after each round could be used to buy different ingredients values higher than 1 cards that interact with the left and the right? Maybe you could have levels with objectives 10 customers all want a red potion. You need to make X amount tonight. But it’s all high scores based with no variance. Actually quite upset I bought the full game and probably won’t be booting it up again.

Game is lovely; tutorial useless.

Miracle Merchant is so much fun to play! It’s a very satisfying game, from the simple pleasure of matching cards to get the highest score possible, to the quirky & attractive graphics, music, and sound effects. I’ve taken one star off because the tutorial for this game and the language used in the daily challenges is so uselessly vague. It’s a fairly straightforward game, so I could figure out how to play it well simply by playing it a lot. But I think an important element of game design is clearly establishing what the words used to refer to various plays mean (I.e. duplex, mixture, ingredient card, etc.). If I hadn’t loved the graphics of this game so much I would’ve been scared off by the poorly written tutorial. However, I’m still a huge fan of the game and would recommend it to anyone. It’s got great replay ability, too.
