The official iPhone version of the card game Wizard. Meet the card game that's challenging, habit-forming and loads of fun! It's Wizard: a unique game with a 60 card deck! The rules are simple and easy to learn... mastering the strategy is the real challenge. One card is dealt to each player on the first round, two cards on the second, and so on. Players bid the number of tricks they think they will win. Make the exact number of tricks bid and you win points; too many or too few and you lose points. The Wizard and Jester cards add a "wild card" element to the strategy. Play against the sophisticated built-in AI players, or choose a network game of up to 4 friends playing over the internet.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Board Game Turn Timer at 5.0 against Wizard's 3.3. Board Game Turn Timer also leads on price ($0.99 vs $5.99). Wizard's advantage is review sentiment (35% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 31 months). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Board Game Turn Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wizard has 61 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Wizard's written reviews are positive against 0% of Board Game Turn Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wizard ships an update every 4 months, Board Game Turn Timer every 31 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
