Not to be confused with Altron's puzzle game of the same name , Data East's Little Magic is a turn-based tactical game with some fighting game elements.
At the main menu, you are presented with three choices: The Wizard's Conspiracy : The game's story campaign.
War Mode : One skirmish match for singleplayer or two-player multiplayer.
Battle Mode : One match of the same 1v1 combat system used in tactical gameplay when two units fight each other.
Also available for two-player multiplayer.
In the story campaign, you always start each stage with the Sun Prince as your first unit.
The win condition in each stage is to achieve one of two objectives: capture the opponent's castle or defeat the opponent's leader unit.
The Sun Prince is your leader in the Wizard's Conspiracy campaign.
To deploy more units, you first need to hire them at your castle and deploy them one turn after the hiring.
Units can move and attack in the same turn, but magic casters are exceptions, they must choose between casting spell and moving in their turns.
Other than the enemy castle, other locations can also be captured by moving your units over them.
Captured towns restore a unit's HP, captured churches restore a unit's HP and MP, captured hexagram circles restore a unit's MP and also enable the owning players to select said circles as extra unit deployment locations aside from their own castle.
The game also has naval combat, where ships are both transporters of ground units and combat units on their own terms.
Ships have uniform 200 HP and six cannon shots and are repaired and resupplied with ammunition at captured do
About Game Boy Color
The Game Boy Color (1998) added a color screen to the original Game Boy formula while remaining backwards compatible with the entire existing cartridge library. Its colorful, semi-transparent cartridge shells make it a visually distinct platform for shelf collectors, and several late-cycle exclusives — released just before the Game Boy Advance took over — are notably harder to find complete today.
Gamevaro tracks Little Magic for Game Boy Color with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Little Magic to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBC release dates back to 1999.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Little Magic, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Color titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
