How scoring works in Wizard
Wizard is a trick-taking game where the number of cards dealt grows by one each round. Round 1 deals 1 card each, round 2 deals 2 each, and so on, up to 60÷players rounds. Before each hand, every player bids the number of tricks they'll take — total bids almost never equal the number of tricks available, so most players miss. Hit your bid exactly: score 20 + 10 × tricks taken. Miss it: lose 10 × per trick off. Highest total at the end wins. Add a round each time you finish a hand.

Wizard scorecard — common questions
How does Wizard scoring work exactly?+
After bidding, each player scores 20 + 10 × bid IF they hit their bid exactly. If they miss, they lose 10 × |actual − bid|. So a correct bid of 3 = 20 + 30 = 50 points; a bid of 3 with 5 tricks taken = −20 points (off by 2). Hit bids reward you generously; missed bids cost you.
How many rounds does a Wizard game have?+
Total rounds = 60 ÷ number of players. So 3 players = 20 rounds, 4 players = 15, 5 players = 12, 6 players = 10. Each round deals one more card than the last (round 1 = 1 card, round N = N cards) until you run out of deck.
What's the difference between Wizard and Skull King?+
Wizard has the cleaner math — pure bid-and-trick prediction with no special-card capture bonuses. Skull King adds Pirates, Mermaids, and the Skull King card itself that score bonus points by capturing each other. Wizard rewards precise bidding; Skull King rewards chaos. The calculator supports both — see our Skull King scorecard.
Is it really free? Do I need to sign up?+
Yes, free, no signup. The scorecard runs entirely in your browser — no account, no app to install, no tile data sent anywhere. Ads on the page keep the site running.
How do I share the scorecard with my table?+
Tap the QR code button at the top of any scorecard. Everyone scans it with their phone camera and gets a live view of the same scorecard — they can watch the leaderboard update in real time as you tap.
Do scores save if I close the tab?+
Yes — the in-progress scorecard is saved automatically in your browser. Open the same scorecard URL on the same device and your scores will still be there. To clear, tap Reset.
Does it work on mobile?+
Yes — every scorecard is built phone-first. Big tap targets, big numbers, designed to be passed around the table. Bookmark to your home screen for one-tap access.
Can I undo a tap?+
Yes — every scorecard has an Undo button at the top. It rolls back the last 20 score changes. The Reset button starts the whole game over.
What if my game isn't listed?+
Use the Any Board Game generic scorecard — it gives you flexible round columns and editable labels so you can score basically any round-based game. If you want a specific game added, the AI Prompts Library link in the footer has a feedback form.
