Wizard: Jubiläumsedition

Wizard: Jubiläumsedition is the celebration edition of the classic trick‑taking game, using a 60‑card deck that blends the standard 52 cards with four Wizards (the highest cards) and four Jesters (the lowest). Each round players receive an increasing hand – one card in round one, two in round two, and so on – and the top card of the undealt pile sets the trump suit, if any. If a Wizard or Jester appears, the round has no trump. Before play begins, everyone makes a predictive bid, declaring how many tricks they expect to win. The trick‑taking follows familiar rules: leading a suit forces others to follow unless a Wizard (allowing any card) or a Jester (letting the next player choose the suit) is played. Wizards always win the trick, Jesters lose unless everyone plays a Jester, and otherwise the highest trump or highest card of the led suit takes the trick. After all tricks, exact bids earn 20 points plus 10 per trick taken; missed bids lose 10 points per trick off. The anniversary edition adds six special cards – a dragon that beats Wizards, a multicolored Juggler, and a bomb that cancels bids, among others – which can be shuffled in as desired. The game runs about 45 minutes, is easy to learn yet demands solid hand management and bid prediction, making it perfect for 3‑6 players who enjoy lively, twist‑filled rounds.
