## Description
Wizard: Camelot Edition brings the classic Wizard card game into a richer, more unpredictable setting. The core deck remains the same, but four special Camelot cards – the Holy Grail, Excalibur, Merlin and Morgan le Fay – are added, shaking up predictions and offering fresh ways to swing the outcome. Players start each round with a hand of cards and bid on how many tricks they think they will win. Unlike the classic edition, these thematic cards can dramatically alter trick values, demanding careful hand management and a dash of bluffing. Success hinges on balancing your hand, guessing opponents' moves, and timing the Camelot cards perfectly. Games run 30‑45 minutes and support 3‑6 players, making it suitable for both intimate groups and larger gatherings. The medieval‑fantasy theme adds flavor, yet the mechanics stay approachable: know the basics of trick‑taking and the rest flows naturally. If you’ve mastered the Ultimate Wizard, Camelot Edition offers a welcome challenge with new combos and tense moments. In short, more strategy, more uncertainty, and plenty of fun for fans of card games with an Arthurian twist.
