WizWar is too complicated for the modern gamer.
If they have a decision in front of them, they can make it.
But, if you have to imagine multiple variations of variations, it's too hard and locks them up.

The OG's (Original Gangsters) knew sometimes you just had to make a decision and live with it.

WizWar is a great game and it was printed multiple times. But, the modern gamer can't grok it.
