2002 FAQ, ~208-card Chessex-era card pool with mechanics, all six
sector board layouts reconstructed from photos + fan redraws, and
setup diagrams. Gaps flagged for verification against Eric's copy.

# Wiz-War — Chessex-era Card List (6th edition focus)
Compiled 2026-08-15 from archived copies of Tom Jolly's official site (wizwar.com, via the
Wayback Machine), BoardGameGeek version/expansion pages, and a BGG forum thread on the 6th
edition deck. See `cards-sources.md` for full source notes and links.
## How to read this file
- **All effect summaries below are PARAPHRASED** (condensed into my own words from the
official card database that Jolly Games hosted at wizwar.com). They capture the mechanics
(numbers, durations, interactions) but not the exact card wording. For **verbatim text**,
use the archived per-card scans and the archived card-reference page linked in
`cards-sources.md` — every card in the Basic/Exp1/Exp2 lists below has a scan there.
- "NUMBER" = one of the deck's number cards (2–6) played alongside the spell, used for
damage, duration, charges, etc.
- Types used on the cards: **Attack**, **Counteraction**, **Neutral**, **Neutral/Counteraction**,
**Trap** (goes off when drawn), **Special** (out-of-turn cards), **Object** (physical items:
daggers, magic sticks/wands, magic stones), **Artifact** (Expansion 2 only), **Number**.
"LOS" = requires line of sight.
### Edition / expansion map (what actually existed in the Chessex era)
| Product | Year | Cards | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiz-War 5th edition (Chessex) | 1991 | ~121 (unconfirmed) | Same small box as Jolly Games 4th ed |
| **Wiz-War 6th edition (Chessex)** | 1993 | **125** (box states) | Big blue box, Phil Morrissey art. Adds a few cards to the 5e base deck (Speedstone, Bomb; Dispel Creation moved into the base deck per Jolly's FAQ) |
| Wiz-War Expansion Set #1 | orig. 1988 (Jolly Games); Chessex "third edition" 1993 (purple box) | 75 | 2 new boards, 2 token sheets, monsters + magic sticks. This is the expansion Chessex sold alongside 6th ed |
| Wiz-War Expansion Set #2 | orig. 1991; last printing 1993 | 85 | Adds the 16 **Artifacts**, "Mad Wizard" rules listing. Marketed as compatible with 5th ed and earlier; most of its content (esp. Artifacts) was never folded into Chessex 6e/7e printings, but the non-artifact Exp2 spells circulate in all fan lists |
| Wiz-War "classic edition" (7th) | 1997 | 130 (box states: spells, stones & hazard cards) | Same blue-box trade dress; base deck grew by 5 cards vs 6e — exact delta not documented online |
The official wizwar.com card database tags every card as **Basic / 1st / 2nd** (i.e. base
deck, Expansion #1, Expansion #2). That tagging reflects the 5th-edition product line, but
per the site's own commentary the "Basic" list matches the 6th-edition base deck (it
includes Speedstone, which Jolly's notes flag as a 6e addition). Two placement caveats are
flagged inline below.
### Known quantities
Per-card quantities are the big documentation gap — no online source gives a full count.
What is known:
- 6e base deck totals **125** cards (box); one unpunched copy examined in the BGG thread
had 121, apparently short 5 cards and over 1.
- From that thread's comparison: **Blunt x2, Create Wall x2, Brainstorm/Brainstone x1,
Dagger x1, Drag x1** in the 6e deck.
- 68 unique non-number cards in the base list + number cards 2–6 must total 125, so the
deck holds roughly 30–55 duplicate/number cards (number cards are the bulk of the
duplication).
- Exp1 = 75 cards over 55 unique names; Exp2 = 85 cards over ~88 unique names (72 spells +
16 artifacts — so either some names were uncounted in the box total or a few cards
shipped elsewhere; unresolved).
Quantities below are `?` unless noted. **Fill these in by photographing the physical deck.**

## Base game (6th edition "Basic" deck — 68 unique cards + number cards)
All entries paraphrased; edition described by source: 5th/6th ed (official Jolly Games DB).

## Expansion Set #2 (72 unique spell names + 16 Artifacts; 85 cards total)
Boxed for 5th edition and earlier; most of this content — especially the Artifacts — never

## Gaps to fill from the physical 6th-edition copy
1. **Per-card quantities** for the base deck (and number-card distribution 2–6) — no
online source records them. Photograph the sorted deck and count.
2. **Exact 6e deck membership**: confirm the base deck matches the "Basic" column above
(esp. whether Bomb, Dispel Creation, and Trap! are in the 6e box, and whether any Exp2
cards snuck in).
3. **Verbatim card wording** — everything above is paraphrased. Capture text from the
