Morty Sorty Magic Shop is a board game released in 2026 for 2–4 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Markus Slawitscheck and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Tile Placement, and End Game Bonuses.
The 2 to 4 aspiring sorting masters must skillfully arrange the ingredient jars on the shelves. Competing for the owner's favor, the young magical talents gradually fill their own shelf board, which consists of three rows, with an ingredient jar from the selection drawn for the round. Everyone takes turns choosing a tile. Strict but simple rules apply: The lid color determines which shelf the jar can be placed on, while the numbers in each row must be in ascending order. The magical kittens and special jars earned through gameplay give players small but significant advantages when stocking shelves. Thus, the shelves fill up slowly but surely until the bag of ingredient jars is empty. Then comes the moment of truth for the apprentices: Who has organized their shelves most cleverly and collected the most star points through matching ingredients, complete rows of shelves, scoring scrolls, and badges? Scoring rules: For each ingredient you receive points according to the table depending on the number of tiles you have.
Morty Sorty Magic Shop supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Morty Sorty Magic Shop is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Morty Sorty Magic Shop for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
