Wizard presents itself in absolutely the same way that the most boring of mass market productions do, in an ugly box, sitting limply on a Walmart shelf, or introduced by your grandparents when they’ve run out of various political topics to run you through.

Not familiar with most of the games on that list! I'll have to do some research.

Would love to review some classic card games from the viewpoint of a hobbyist as well, if there is interest/I get permission, I’m always sad to see them arbitrarily sidelined as while many of them are just ok plenty are quite good and worthy of the same limelight as the best hobby games

Typically I use a Rage deck to replicate many of these games, which reminds me that I haven't tried Wizard and must do that.
Stichelin is great.

And +1 to more traditional card game reviews (and their derivatives, like Wizard).

Quick question though: it seems that the base unit of scoring is 10 points. (20 points for a correct prediction + 10 per trick, or -10 per inaccurate bid). So why isn't it simply 1 point? Or should I be asking this question in the QE thread ?
