On July 14, the 2024 North American Wizard Tournament took place at Pierces’ Corners a.k.a. the Marlborough Community Centre.
Wizard is a trick-taking card game designed by Ken Fisher, of Toronto, in 1984. It is based on “Oh Hell”, also called “Screw Your Neighbour”.
Of the 40 players who competed, about half were from North Grenville and the other half travelled from Ottawa, Toronto and its nearby cities, western Ontario, Montreal, Texas, New York and even Spain. Many met through Ken Fisher’s website at https://wizardcards.com; others met by playing Wizard at Pierces Corners. The winner was our own Sandra Nolan, from Kemptville.
To join the fun playing in future Wizard competitions, arrive at Pierce’s Corners between 12:30 and 12:55 p.m. on the second Sunday of each month. Play starts at 1 p.m. For more information, contact Debi at debiar@ymail.com
