My favorite game is a card game called WIZARD. It was invented/developed by a Canadian gentleman, Ken Fisher, and is played with a 60 card deck--- 52
regular cards plus 8 special cards. It is an apolitical card game, affectionately known as the "Ultimate game of trump".
There is a world championship each year, with the 2022 event to be held in Vienna Austria.
