Comments: (a) Unlike regular Wizard, players cannot count on a 'Wizard' card as a sure trick. Even 'Morgan le Fay', the most powerful card, is vulnerable to the 'Holy Grail' card. (b) A come-from-behind victory is enhanced by the extra points for a zero bid on the last hand in a game. (c) A player must take care when playing the 'Holy Grail' lest he/she be forced to play it from an unfavorable position. (d) Even bids are allowed for hands 1-4 so that players are never forced to make an impossible bid. (e) To be in step with the times the most powerful card is a woman. (f) The quest for the 'Grail' is open to all players who can receive an extra 20 points if the card is won in a correctly bid round.(g) Both bidding and play require more skill and strategy than in regular 'Wizard'.
