The entertainment value is really very big. However, this game is not necessarily what pure strategists. Much of the game you can not plan, especially with 4 players, as many spells are aimed at the other players to make life difficult and frustrate their plans also. Sure, you can come up with combos and a bit strategically approach, but you can just as well get to your destination, by acting intuitively and spontaneously and simply watch what happens. Especially with 4 players and the chaos sometimes very large, resulting in but also for a lot of fun.
Who wants to find out before buying over the rule and to play the game, can on the Heidelberg website in advance Download the German manual.
Even positive to mention is the entry-friendliness. Explaining the rules will not be long (not as in Civilization, where you have to plan about 30 minutes); only the first couple of games could take a little longer on average, since you have to read through the cards in hand yet. However, we know this quite quickly by heart.
The game leaves a lot of space for house rules and customization options.
Also extensions are already on the march; the first two have been around in English, the first of which at 23:10:14 Again, published in German. Among others, you can also play the game then to fifth.
The only drawback I would like to focus on the inner workings. No question, the quality of the goods, the plastic and cardboard pieces is top, but I do not have a kind of sorting system for the whole markers. In some games, such as Talisman, which is also from Fantasy Flight Games, such a sorting system inlay is present. The games are in the same price range and because it amazes me that Wiz-War was not so equipped. Here you had to resort to external sorting boxes again.
Conclusion:
The game is great! For games evenings perfect, even for repeated consecutively play super useful. The version even offers the opportunity to play the classic version of more than 20 years ago. The rules are just, well explained (in some places I had to look up what namely the Internet, but it's there) and not too extensive. Beginner friendly and interesting for veterans yet. At the moment it costs about 37 euros and is definitely worth the money.
