How to Play Wizard
- At the start of each round, reveal the top card of the remaining deck to determine the trump suit. If a Wizard is revealed, the dealer chooses trump. If a Jester is revealed, there may be no trump depending on the edition played.
- Before each round, every player bids how many tricks they expect to win. Bids cannot exceed the number of cards dealt that round.
- Players follow suit when possible. Wizard cards beat all others; Jester cards lose to all others (with special last-trick rules for those cards).
- If you make your bid exactly, score 20 points plus 10 points for each trick in your bid.
- If you miss your bid, lose 10 points for each trick you are over or under — whether you took too many or too few.
- After the final round, the player with the highest total score wins.
Tips & Strategy for playing Wizard
- Track how many tricks have been played each round — knowing what is left helps you land on your bid.
- Save Wizard cards for tricks you need to win and dump Jesters when you want to avoid taking a trick.
- A bid of zero is worth 20 points when you take no tricks — often the safest call with a weak hand.
- In later rounds with more cards, small bid errors cost more — bid carefully when many tricks are in play.
