How to use this sheet
Write each player's name at the top of a column. In round 1 everyone gets one card, in round 2 two cards, and so on until the deck runs out. Before each round, write every player's bid; after it, write the tricks they won.
A player who wins exactly what they bid scores 20 points plus 10 for each trick. A player who misses loses 10 points for each trick they were over or under. Totals can go below zero.
The printed sheet has 20 rounds, enough for three players; four players stop after round 15, five after 12 and six after 10. The online sheet shows only the rounds your group will play and tells you if a round's tricks don't add up.

Wizard questions
How do you score Wizard? A player who wins exactly the number of tricks they bid scores 20 points plus 10 points per trick. A player who misses their bid loses 10 points for every trick they were over or under. The highest total at the end wins.
How many rounds are there in Wizard? The 60-card deck is divided by the number of players: 20 rounds for three players, 15 for four, 12 for five and 10 for six. Round 1 deals one card each, and each round deals one more.
What do the Wizard and Jester cards do? A Wizard wins the trick it is played to; if more than one Wizard is played, the first one wins. A Jester always loses the trick. Either can be played at any time, even when you could follow suit.
How is trump chosen in Wizard? After dealing, the top card of the remaining deck is turned up and its suit is trump. If it is a Jester there is no trump; if it is a Wizard, the dealer chooses trump. In the last round all the cards are dealt, so there is no trump.
Can the bids add up to the number of tricks? In the standard rules, yes. Many groups play that the total of the bids must not equal the tricks in the round, so someone always misses; the score sheet works the same either way.
Can your score go negative in Wizard? Yes. Missed bids lose points, so scores below zero are common in the early rounds. Write the minus sign; the online sheet has a ± key for it.
