How much is the wizard worth?

vickalan

Nordlandia: this game uses the witch, which Evert estimated is worth about 7 points, That's probably a good estimate. It might have the most value early in the game where she helps with attacks, but in the endgame maybe worth less when not much is blocked (and the witch can't capture herself). It's a great topic of discussion, and knowing the exact value of a witch will obviously help someone become better in the game.happy.png

The rules I'm using for this tournament (here) require that you send a warning to your opponent (on the third day or later), and then he has 24 hours to make a move or he forfeits the game.

Huanglz: Please make your move within 24 hours or you're a no-show, and you lose by forfeit.
