War of Wizards

War of Wizards is a board game published by TSR in 1975.

David M. Ewalt, in his book Of Dice and Men, described how University of Minnesota professor M. A. R. Barker "made his game-design debut at TSR. A scholar of ancient languages, Barker had spent decades crafting a fantasy world called Tékumel, writing thousands of pages of histories, describing its culture, and even constructing its languages. He served as adviser to the university's wargaming club, and after Michael Mornard showed him Dungeons & Dragon, Barker wrote two games based in Tékumel; a role-playing game, Empire of the Petal Throne; and a combat-oriented board game, War of Wizards."[1]
