I owned Wizard's Quest years ago but lost it under tragic circumstances. I've been looking for it ever since. I finally found it the other day at the Great Escape in Nashville, for a great price! It was complete except for a few chits and the instructions.
My friends and I used to have a great time playing this. So since I'm back in my hometown for a few days, I decided to hold a Wizard's Quest Tournament. The Wizard's Best 2011: First Annual Premier Wizard's Quest Invitational Tournament, to be more specific. I've sculpted and painted 3 trophies and 3 medallions which I will post pictures of after the tournament. I've also decided to soup-up my Wizard's Quest playing pieces. I bought a few bags of wooden pegs and cubes from the local hobby store. I spent all last night hand-painting them to match the original bits.
These are not meant to replace the cardboard chits, merely augment them. The pegs are 2 sided. The three flags on one side represents 3 men. On the reverse side is a single large flag, which represents 5. Each color's large flag has a different design.
Each color gets 5 cubes with a single "X" on top, which represents 10 men, and 1 cube with double "X"s which represents 20. The bottom of the cubes are blank and each of the remaining 4 sides has different images of battle flags.
There will be, at most, 6 participants so a single game will decide the tournament. The winner will be the first person to capture all three of his/her treasures. I have also devised a system of points to determine 2nd - 6th place.
On Sunday I will post pictures of the trophies and their winners and also talk about how the tournament went and the point system.
