Ask Zandar (1992)

Ask Zandar is a whimsical electronic fortune-telling party game designed for 1 to 4 players aged 9 and up. Players take turns drawing question cards and predicting whether the mystical wizard Zandar will respond with a "yes" or "no" answer. To reveal Zandar's response, players wave their hand over his crystal ball, activating light and sound effects that deliver one of nearly 30 unique phrases. Correct predictions earn players colored gems, which they place on the game board. The first player to place five gems wins the game and is rewarded with a personalized fortune reading. This involves Zandar interpreting five fortune disks associated with the player's gems, offering insights into aspects like "a boy you like" or "a trip you want to take". With its engaging blend of chance, prediction, and theatrical flair, Ask Zandar offers a nostalgic experience reminiscent of the Magic 8-Ball, enhanced by interactive gameplay and a touch of mystical charm.
