## Description
Wizard Würfelspiel transports the beloved Wizard card game into a dice‑driven showdown, delivering a fast, light, and bluff‑heavy experience. Designed for 2‑5 players and lasting roughly 20 minutes, it’s perfect for a quick filler between heavier titles. At the start of each round one player becomes the seer and places a bid on his score sheet: he picks a color (blue, red, yellow or green) and a number from 1 to 5, e.g., "blue‑4". The other players then take turns making their own bids, each one forced to differ from all previous bids, which creates tension and mind‑reading fun. After all bids are in, the seer decides which color the wizard symbols on the dice will count for that round.

The seer then rolls seven custom dice up to three times, optionally setting aside any dice after the first and second rolls. If a non‑seer’s bid is satisfied on the first or second roll, that player crosses out his bid with an X. When the seer has rolled three times or fulfilled his own bid, the round ends. Anyone who hasn’t hit their target writes the difference between their bid and the actual number of the chosen color rolled, marking that number in the circle. As an alternative, a player may cross off the number of jokers (the jester faces) shown, provided the number is between 1 and 5 and hasn’t been crossed before.

The player who placed the highest bid in a color different from the seer becomes the next seer. Play continues until a player accumulates nine Xs in his bidding area; then scores are tallied: each successful bid awards 1‑5 points, while recorded differences subtract points. The highest total wins. The game also offers ten optional spell cards that tweak dice results or bids, adding extra variety. With ultra‑simple rules, minimal components (icon dice and paper sheets), and plenty of psychological interaction, Wizard Würfelspiel is ideal for fans of quick bluffs, risk decisions, and a dash of fantasy without the hassle.
