Wizard Card Game

Such a great game to play with friends. The deluxe version of this game comes with markers that keep track of tricks. I highly recommend purchasing the deluxe version.

Gift well received

We first played Wizard last summer and enjoyed the game so much that I bought three games for myself and two friends. Played with a regular deck plus 4 Wizard and 4 Jester wild cards, it's a thinking game with a enough luck so that every player has a chance to win. Everyone I know who has tried it loves this game. Great game for adults and older children alike. No one will be bored!The game plays out a bit like Hearts or Dirty Eights, so kids can jump right in if they've played these games before. The first round one card is dealt to each person and one card is turned up which becomes the trump suit. Each player has to decide if they will will win the round. They bid the number of tricks they think they will take ( 0 or 1 in this case ) and then the cards are played. If you bid the correct amount, you get points. If you take too many tricks or too few tricks, you are penalized. Each round, more cards are dealt until the entire deck is dealt out. This game becomes wickedly fun because no one knows where the Wizards and Jesters are... in a players hand, or in the deck. There is nothing tougher than taking that extra trick after all your careful planning.It is recommended for children 10 and over. We played with my nieces, who are 9 and 12 but play and love card games and they both needed to play with an adult for the first time. They really loved playing and I could see the gears turning in their heads as they learned card strategy. I think they would have great fun with their friends, but it really teaches strategy and card sense. In a way, it's a very good introduction to bridge and other adult card games that both the children and adults can enjoy together.

these are nicely made cards. Fun for kids and adults.

such fast delivery!!!Good game of odds but needs at least 3 people to play
