INTRODUCTION OF WIZARD

Wizard is a trick-taking card game developed in 1984 by Ken Fisher.  It can be purchased commercially, but it can also be played with a full deck along with Jokers taken from three other decks.  The most popular version available to buy uses a standard 52 card deck, and it includes 4 Jester cards and 4 Wizard cards.  The commercial version also includes scoresheets.   슬롯사이트

In this game, players are trying to bid the precise number of tricks they will take during the hand.  Points are awarded or deducted based on the accuracy of the bid.  This is an extremely challenging trick-taking game.

THE CARDS & THE DEAL

To construct the deck for Wizard, players will need access to four identical decks.  It is important that all of the cards have the same back design.  One entire deck will be used.  From the other three decks, pull the colored and colorless Jokers.  The result is a sixty-card deck that includes fifty-two cards ranked 2 – Ace, four colorless Jokers that represent the Jesters, and four colored Jokers that represent the Wizards.

In this game, Jesters are always the lowest-ranked cards.  Wizards are always the highest-ranked cards.

To determine the first dealer and the scorekeeper, each player should draw a card from the deck.  The player who drew the highest card then deals first.  The player with the lowest card must also keep score for the entire game.

To begin the game, the dealer shuffles and then doles out one card to each player.  The rest of the cards are then placed in the center.  The top card of the pile is flipped over to determine the trump suit.  If a Jester is flipped over, there is no trump suit for the round.  If a Wizard is flipped over, the dealer gets to determine the trump suit.

The deal then passes left and one additional card is dealt each round.  For round two, players are dealt two cards.  Round three has three cards dealt and so on.  This continues until the entire deck is dealt.  For a three-player game, each player will get 20 cards for the final round.  For a four-player game, players will be dealt 15 cards.  Five players will get 12 cards on their final round, and six players will see 10 cards for the final round.  There is no trump suit for the final round.

THE PLAY

After the cards have been dealt and the trump suit determined (if possible), the bidding phase may begin.  The player to the left of the dealer bids first.  They look at their hand and determine how many tricks they believe they can take.  They bid that number, and the bid is documented by the scorekeeper.  Bidding passes left and ends with the dealer.  Players are striving to capture precisely the number of tricks they bid.

The player to the left of the dealer begins the trick by choosing on
