This game is ideal because it's simple to learn, quick to play, and very entertaining. Even my father, who really doesn't enjoy cards or board games at all, can easily be persuaded to join us for a round of Wizard. We've found that 4-5 people playing this game makes for the best setup because there are more chances for missed bids (and thus an added drama factor!) and the game doesn't last too long. You'll be surprised at how attached you can become to a card game--whether you miss your bid or trump everyone else, you're likely to become emotionally involved, and that makes this game an intense but fun way to spend an afternoon or evening. Five stars for sure on this product!
5.0 out of 5 stars Wizard Card Game (The Game of Ultimate Trump), February 7, 2007
ByRyan B. Walton (Cincinnati, Ohio USA) - .(REAL NAME)
If you like card games with trump and strategy that are extremely easy to learn, you'll love this game. It is similar to "Up the River, Down the River" and a little like Euchre and Pinnocle, except much easier with much more strategy. Also, you can actually win a given round by taking zero tricks, you can win by loosing all the hands. Highly Recommended for all ages.
5.0 out of 5 stars Our Favorite Family Game!, August 22, 2006
We were introduced to this game about 2 years ago by a distant relative and have since hooked most of our immediate family. We play everytime we get together. At first it may be a little discouraging because you have to make your exact bid or you lose points, but once you get the hang of it the bidding becomes easier. My older kids (10 & 8) love it, but I would recommend it more for older kids and adults. There is also a website wizardcards.com you can register and play for free. Very fun, but I would get the cards first and learn how to play before going online.

This review is from: The Original Wizard Card Game (Toy)
Every year for Christmas I try to find a good family game. This is 2008's great game. We love that any number from 3 to 6 can play. There is a lot of strategy and changing course in the middle of the game as you try to take the exact number of tricks bid before the play starts. Two quick tips: The score sheet is a little small as we found it easiest to put the hand score/total score into the little square. Also, write down the side of the score sheet either who is dealing (we use deals) or who leads for each hand. It is important to know who is leading the round. The first game we played (3 people) took about 1-1/4 hours. Each subsequent game was quicker, even though we had up to 6 people. I would say the game would be better with 12/13 years old and up, but a precocious 10 year old would be ok.
Follow up 3 January 2009 -- I forgot one tip. We gave pennies to each person based on what they bid. That way, each person could remember what they bid and everyone could see everyone else's bid.

Wizard is one of the greatest card games created and kids and adults of all ages can play. It is great for family and friend reunions or just a fun family night together. Everyone who has learned how to play the game is hooked. It has provided hours of fun and cries of disbelief in our family.

This review is from: The Original Wizard Card Game (Toy)
This is a great card game. Everyone we have introduced to this game loves it. The Jester and Wizard cards add some fun twists to the outcome, and if you fall behind initially, you can still catch-up as the number of cards per hand increase at the end.
My only complaint, and the reason I only give it 4 stars, is that the cards tend to get sticky with extended use, and given you can shuffle the deck 15 to 20 times per game, the cards get a lot of handling. A plastic card surface would have been better. The best solution I have found is to purchase more than one set. I am sure the manufacturer, with whom I am not affiliated, loves me for saying that.

I bought this game to suplement a Spades group I run. When we have 6 people, 2 have to sit out while the others play. So now with Wizard accomodating anywhere from 3 to 6, I can have everyone play, no matter how many people! We've had 18 playing - 12 at Spades, and 6 at Wizard. It's a lot of fun.

If you like eucure, you'll love this game, August 20, 2008
There's nothing here that can't be accomplished with a regular deck and the rules. That said, this is the hands-down best game of cards I've ever played. I may be naive in saying that, but our family gets together about once a week and plays.
I've played other games of trump and while skill is involved, there's a lot of luck involved too. Wizard is uniquely skill oriented. And while you might still get a lucky hand, even players who are unluckly dealt consistently poor hands will still often win the game, as scoring is based on the number of tricks you plan on taking.
No question about it, the price of the deck is worth the rule sheet alone. Fantastically fun game.

Have played this game in the past, but wanted by own deck. We just played with THREE players and it was just as interesting as with four, only there are more hands to play and you have to hold more cards near the end of the game. The cards are coated so I think they'll last a long time. The score sheets are a nice touch, but the print size and spacing are a bit problematic for these older eyes. Think we're going to put a sheet on the printer scanner and enlarge it. Overall, a fun game!

We've found that even 7 or 8 people can play at once. (If your choices are to add another player or two, or to play something else, the choice is easy!!!) I highly recommend this game. I just wish I were better at it. :)

Was introduced to this game several years ago. Have since purchased copies for friends. It is an instant hit - because it is for all ages, easy to learn the basics, hard to master. Recently gave it to a game playing family including Mom who rarely wins games against her college children. Mom has won and the "house college guru" has been shut out. He's taking it back to school to "work on" in his spare time. A real winner.

Wizard was a good card game that can be played by up to 6 people, we tried this on New Year's day for an hour and was pleasantly surprised at how fun it was. While the rules are basic, it is open to interpretation - during my experience some people had an idea in their head what it should be like and started incorporating other card game rules. After several goes the game becomes addicting and the rules are easier to follow as everyone starts to understnd the concept. We will definitely play this again during another family get together. Highly recommended purchase.

Wizard is a fun card game that takes the game "Oh Hell" to another level by the addition of eight extra cards. It can be played by as few as 3 or as many as 10 (or more). The more players, the fewer the rounds. It's easy to learn the basics, but depends on skill as well as luck. A great game for a group of friends.

My family and friends all love Wizard - it's like Up & Down the River on steroids. I love the element of chaos that the Wizard and Jester cards bring to the game, and we've all learned to be unattached to winning or losing - it's just fun to play!

My co-workers and I love this game. Great for playing during our lunch break. We've modified the rules slightly such that when we pass the number of cards in hand as there are players, the last person to bid, has to bid 'off' of the number of tricks. So if there are five players and you have six cards in hand, the last player's bid can't make the total 6, it must be greater than or less than six. It can be a punishing game, but rewarding :)

Easy to play - hard to win!, June 23, 2011
One of my family's new favorite games to play! Very easy to learn, but very hard to win! Each round, players lay down a card in order around the table, the leading suit must be followed, and high card wins. There is also a trump suit each round that will trump any other suit played. And to top that all off there is 4 Wizards (that always win) and 4 Jesters (that always lose). Either of these "blue suited" cards can be played whenever. Which means that ace of trump (or any other good card) could lose if a wizard is played!
To top all that off, each person bids how many "tricks" (or turns) they think they will win this round. You get 20 points for getting a correct bid, plus 10 for every trick you take! And you lose 10 points for every trick you were off by! So if you bid 3, but ended up taking 4, you lose 10 points!
So very easy, and so frustratingly difficult to win! Fun fun game, that can be played with 3-6 people, so it's easy to just sit down and play. No worrying about teams, or having an odd number. Highly recommend!

Friends of ours introduced us to this card game & we were instantly hooked. We prefer trick-taking card games & we think this has to be one of the best. We used to play a lot of spades & euchre but this is better. It is based on the card game "Oh hell", which we didn't used to play for whatever reason. The addition of the wizard & jester cards to the deck makes the game that much more strategic & interesting. It's also nice that you don't need exactly 4 people to play this game. It's unfortunate this game can't be found at major retail stores so everyone could easily pick up a deck. Thanks to amazon for carrying it! If you like card games, esp. ones like euchre, don't hesitate, buy this game now. You won't be disappointed!

This card game is our friends and family favorite! We use to play spades all the time but Wizard takes card playing to a new level. In spades there are people who bid high and or low..Wizard takes all of that away and really makes a person think and "play" the game.
This Christmas I gave Wizard as a gift and the funny thing is that the person who opened the gift was so excited and actually said they loved this game and have been wanting to purchase it!
The only thing I would tell people to do when you buy the game is read the directions and take notes. The game isn't hard but you can get confused on how the points are awarded.

I ORDERED BOTH THE DELUXE EDITION OF THIS GAME AND THE GIFT EDITION. THE DELUXE EDITION WAS EASILY THE BEST VALUE. THE GIFT EDITION WAS JUST NOT WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY SPENT. THIS IS A GOOD GAME, AND THE DELUXE EDITION GIVES YOU THE DIALS THAT YOU USE TO ESTIMATE THE TRICKS YOU WILL TAKE, JUST AN ADDITION MAKING IT A BETTER VALUE. THE GIFT EDITION IS IN A NICE TIDY LITTLE CASE, SO I GUESS IT IS ALL IN YOUR REASON FOR ORDERING.

A little confusing at first, but once we started playing we had a great time. Lots of laughs.
5.0 out of 5 stars A good card game for a wide range of players, August 29, 2009
Wizard is a good card game for a wide range of players. The rules say 3 to 6 players, but you can play with seven or eight or even more. Sort of like Spades on steroids, Wizard is easy enough for our family's kids, and their card-playing grandparents love it too.
What a blast!, August 7, 2009
Played this with a bunch of girlfriends and we could barely breathe for laughing. Now I'm keeping a deck in the car for the next spontaneous occasion. Laughter is so restoring. And Amazon had the best price!
Wizard Tournaments, July 31, 2009
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars
We introduced this great game to our community and now a bunch of us have Wizard Tournaments once a month. Twelve of us play at 3 tables (4 players per table). We each keep our own scores and after 5 hands, the two players scoring the lowest move to the next table for the next round of 5 hands. The person with the highest score after 3 rounds of 5 hands each (1-5, 6-10, 11-15) is the winner. We never tire of this game and teach it to anyone who loves cards (and some who don't, but they get hooked). They catch on easily.

Six of us couples meet once a month to have a Wizard Tournament. We play at 3 tables (4 at each table) and rotate after 5 hands (the 2 Losers move to the next table). Each person keeps his own score. We've taught the game to everyone in our community and it has really caught on. We love it. It's easy to learn, but different every time we play, which is often.Wizard Card Game UGS WZ5
Challenging game for adults, July 10, 2009
= Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
Definitely not a game for young children. It's more geared for adults. And, it is kinda complicated. Make sure you have 4+ people to play, otherwise, it isn't too much of a game. But, it is SO MUCH FUN once the group knows how to play.

We just recently learned how to play Wizard and have been teaching it to others. It is more mind provoking that ordinary card games so it has educational and thinking properties. We are planning on playing it with our 21 year old granddaughter tonight! PS: You can play this game with 2 but 3 or 4 are more fun.

The Wizard card game is great fun for people who really like to play cards. This takes thinking, strategizing, and a good ability to plot and play your card playing. Have fun!

Wizard is a fun card game for adults with or without much card playing experience. It is a nice way to spend an evening with four or six of your friends. You should try it!
Great fun game., February 24, 2009
We received the Wizzard cards and have had a lot of fun with them. We got 4 sets for the price of 3 . We live in northern U.S. and play lots of games with family and friends.
Card game, February 11, 2009
Best card game ever. If you win you become the Wizard. Only the Wizard gets to throw their hands in the air (shape of a W) and exclaim greatness. All other players cannot raise their arms above their shoulders. Great for all ages.

Better than spades or euchre. The Wizard & Jester cards make gameplay alot more challenging and fun

This card game never gets old! It produces a stimulating combination of skill and luck. Very competitive and fun for novice and seasoned players!

We bought several card games for Christmas and this is by far our favorite when playing with our older children and their spouses. The game constantly changes and scores go up and down all the way to the end. We would recommend this for anyone who likes thinking and luck with their cards.

Super game - lots of fun. Recommend it to all, especially those who love Euchre.
GREAT family fun!!!, January 6, 2009
We've been playing Wizard for about 10 years now. It's a great
"trump" card game. If you like Hearts or Spades, you'll love Wizard. Our kids have been old enough to play with us for a few years now (hence the need for a new deck!)The instructions say for ages 10 and up, though I think most 8 year olds could play this. But it's definitely an adult favorite too! Another nice feature of Wizard is that you can stop and take up the game another time...just save the score sheet.

We love this game. We play Wizard every other weekend with friends and family. We bring it camping, on vacation trips, anywhere we can. It's a lot of fun. It almost becomes addictive. Great price for such a fun game.

It's lots of fun. What is really nice about the game is that you can have hands dealt to you that are not very strong but still end up winning. The trick is to bid the hand correctly. Another great thing about Wizard is that the number of people playing is fairly flexible. . . 3-6.
Great game, December 7, 2008
If you like card games this is a good one. It works with several people and isn't too complicated but lots of fun.

This is a fun easy to learn game for up to 6 people. It helps if you are already familiar with card games that incorporate "trump cards". We took it to Costa Rica with us and had a great time playing it. It's portability makes it a great travel game. It is a card game, so the cards will get spots on them, especially if you are eating or using sunscreen while playing...which of course we did.
Need small group to play this fun game, September 8, 2008
I started playing this with friends from work. We had a huge group and tournaments even. That's how I've gotten addicted. I ran across this while playing around on Amazon and had to have my own deck with instructions. Only problem is that I live in a family of non-game people, so I now have a hard time getting enough people to play. Need at least 4, and the more the merrier.

This is a fun card game especially for families with older children (10 and up). It's a trump game that requires concentration and confidence, but not difficult like bridge.

More fun than poker! Doesn't matter how well you play cards, those extra trumps trump you everytime!
Wizard trumps whiskey!, October 15, 2007
This review is from: The Original Wizard Card Game (Toy)
This game is so much fun -- introduced by some random boy our daughter brought home for dinner (another story); it took me months before I quit calling it whiskey . . . by which time, we were totally hooked on playing wizard; it usurped cribbage at the game table. Lots of fun, two to six can play. It's quick, it's fun; try it today!
Wizard Card Game, January 24, 2007
A friend introduced us to the game and we had to have our own set immediately. Easy to learn and great fun to play. Good service and reasonable price.

I really enjoy this game. It also came before the delivery date which is really great.

This is a fun card game! Hard enough to be enjoyable over time, but easy enough to be played by most people and older kids.
It is a bit like Spades and Hearts in that you take tricks, but it has the added wrinkle of Jesters and Wizard cards that are more than just "wild" cards. A very good game! The only thing stopping me rating it 5 stars overall, is that you must have at least three players, which isn't always possible for us.

My whole family is crazy about this game. I bought it for a present for my nephew. A great game because it can be played with an odd number of people.
