Description provided by Hopeless Games on YouTube:

Join us on our fantasy trip to the enchanted isles that float like lotuses on the cosmic sea. Hamdrel stepped out of her cottage and breathed in the dewy air. A shadow flapped its tattered wings across the earth. The dragons were back. And the wizards all but forgotten. 🕰️ Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro - Lore time 05:15 - Avalon Hill and early strategy games - Lore Time 18:44 - Magic Realm - Lore Time 28:06 - Wizards 40:45 - Game Starts - Setup 59:37 - The Creators - Lore Time 1:05:18 - The setup continues 1:30:22 - Character Creation 1:33:03 - Musical interlude 1:43:29 - Character Creation continues 1:44:59 - Game starts 2:46:50 - Yes (The Band) - Lore Time 2:51:02 - Game Continues 2:57:39 - Spell book - Lore Time 3:04:02 - Game Continues 3:20:37 - Game End / Musical Interlude 3:23:51 - Game End - Discussion Wizards is a New Age world conjured forth by Thomas and Coral Mosbø and published by Avalon Hill in 1982: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/828/wizards Let flow the Spell of Spells!

About Wizards, from BoardGameGeek:

This is Avalon Hill's game of Fantasy Adventure. This game uses hexagonal modular map sections, providing a different board layout for each game. Map tile-sections are placed on a blank mapboard to make up the arrangement of the Enchanted Islands for that game. Most of the game consists of performing various mini-quests by moving around the 18 islands to pick up marker counters for the specific quest. Each quest adds to the 10 quest per fortnight (14 days) requirement. Failure to reach this total of quests among all players causes one of the 18 islands to be flipped over and taken out of the game. In this way the players are competing mainly versus the game system. Endgame consists of players racing against each other to be first to collect 6 Gem Fragments and take them to the High Druid.
