Key Features

• The playing and winning of the tricks uses mostly standard trick-taking rules
• If a player leads a suited card, then all other players must follow suit, if possible
• If a player leads a Jester, then the second player determines the suit led
• If a player leads a Wizard, then those who follow can play whatever they want
• However, in all cases a player may always play a Wizard or Jester, even if they hold cards in the suit led
• A common variant in Wizard is to not allow the total number of tricks bid in a round to match the round number, thereby forcing (at least) one player to be off each round
