Wizard enchants young and old alike. With simple rules and a challenging twist on strategy, even new-comers and experienced players can enjoy a game together without anxiety or really, long, drawn out? sighs.

The object of card game Wizard is to correctly predict/bid on the number of tricks that you will take in each round of play. Points are awarded for a correct bid and the number of tricks taken, and points are subtracted for each extra or missed trick. The player with the most points at the end of all rounds is the winner. To settle an improbable Wizard game tie, you can arm-wrestle? or add up the total of a player?s bids from each round from the entire game. Each round has three stages: dealing, bidding and playing.
