The Ultimate Trick-Taking Game of Skill, Strategy, and Prediction
The Original Wizard Card Game by US Games is a legendary classic among card game enthusiasts — and it’s now available at Raven’s Cauldron. With over 20 million copies sold worldwide, Wizard is a fast-paced, highly strategic game of bidding, prediction, and clever play that rewards sharp minds and calculated risk.
Important Note: This is not a fantasy roleplaying game and not a themed collectible card game. Wizard is a pure trick-taking card game in the tradition of games like Spades and Hearts — elevated by unique Wizard and Jester cards that dramatically change gameplay and keep every round exciting.
How the Game Works
In Wizard, players predict how many tricks they will win each round — and score points based on how accurately they fulfill their bids. The twist? The deck includes special Wizard and Jester cards that override normal rules and create unexpected turns in every hand.
• Wizards always win the trick
• Jesters always lose the trick
• Trump suits change every round
• Accurate predictions earn big points — mistakes cost you
It’s simple to learn, endlessly replayable, and wildly addictive.
