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.

Wizard's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
