Wizard

The trick-taking game Wizard uses a sixty-card deck consisting of a traditional 52-card deck (1-13 in four suits) along with four wizards (high) and four jesters (low).

Players compete in several rounds, depending on the number of players, and the player with the highest score wins. In each round, players are dealt a hand of cards—one card in the first round, two cards in the second, three in the third, etc.—then a trump card is determined by turning over the top card of the undealt deck; if a suit is revealed, it is a trump card, while if the card shown is a Jester, it is rejected and there is no trump for that round. If the card shown is a Wizard, the dealer chooses one of 4 types of cards as the trump. In the final round of each game, all the cards are dealt. Players then indicate how many tricks they expect to win in that round.
