Shazamm! is a game of strategy and deceit for everyone, in a world of Heroic-Fantasy. Spells, traps, challenges…the Grand Game!

Imagine 2 wizards who challenge each other on a bridge, in a far away kingdom, suspended over a river of lava. But be careful! In the violence of the attack, the bridge is falling apart …..

En-titles-1-1485104384

▪ You confront, in a dual, wizards around the world, to be the one who manages to stay on the bridge. At the end, only the BEST will remain standing!

▪ Your aim is to drive away your opponent with the help of a wall of fire, until he falls into the fiery river of lava.

▪ Using skilled tactics of your magical energy called Mana, and your careful choice of special spells, thanks to your 14 game cards will enable you to win.

" What interests me in this game is the relationship with the other gamer : we play in pairs, with friends and with people who want to share the same pleasure in a gaming experience. It's a quest-style, learning game, where the more we play the more we have fun and the more we know our opponent the more we can imagine the counter-attacks. That was really the aim of our work. " (Philippe des Pallières, co-author of Shazamm!)

▪ Each player can cast powerful spells to his/her opponent thanks to the 14 cards that he/she will have to use very carefully.

▪ At the beginning of each dual, your stock of Mana is 50 points. At each attack you bet secretly on Mana points ; your stock will decrease accordingly.

▪ If you wish to make your attack more powerful, you can cast a spell to your opponent by using a Spell Card, but be careful, your opponent can do the same as you !

1. Muteness > From now on, no Spell has any effect for the whole round. This means that any other Spell played on that turn is discarded with no effect. Would any foolish Wizard cast a Spell later on this round, the Spell would be lost and discarded. (Note that this Spell is the only one that keeps on having effect after the end of the turn).

2. Clone > The caster of this Spell picks up one of the discarded Spells, played by the opponent on the previous turn. This picked Spell will be applied on this turn, as if played normally by the caster, and according to its priority number.

3. Larceny > Any Spell the opponent may have cast on this turn goes to the larcener’s side. The caster can choose, for each spell, if it will be applied to his own advantage, or discarded.

4. End Single > The round ends at once! The Firewall stays where it is. The Wizards are set three steps away on each side, a new round will begin. Any other Spell played on this turn, and yet unapplied, is discarded with no effect.

5. Middle > The Firewall is moved at once back on the “equally distant” division (the location it was in at the start of the round), then the turn goes on as if nothing happened.

6. Recycle > The caster can re-adjust his Mana bet, taking back or adding up to five Mana Points. He will then fight and pay according to this modification.

7. Attack Boost > The power of the caster’s attack is increased by 7. However, of course, he will only pay the amount of his bet.

8. Double Dose > The power of the caster’s attack is doubled. However, of course, he will only pay the amount of his bet.

9. Winner Loses > This Spell will reverse the Firewall movement, that’s to say it will move toward the Wizard with the stronger attack. Obviously, it has no effect if the Firewall is not due to move.

10. Inferno > If the Firewall is due to move, it will move two divisions, whatever the direction. However, if one step is enough for it to reach a wizard, then it just do this one step, and the round is over.

11. Resistance > In no way will the Firewall move toward the caster. If it was due to do so, then it will not move.

12. Bad Loser > If the caster loses the turn (that is: if the Firewall actually moved towards him), he doesn’t pay his bet.

13. Reserve Boost > The caster’s Mana reserve increases by 13. But it can never be more than 50.

14. Suction > The caster’s Mana reserve increases by the opponent’s bet (not the power of his attack). But it can never be more than 50.

▪ Shazamm!was at first a board game, then an online game has materialised in 2003 on the website boiteajeux.net, and today the project is to readapt a digital and modern version of Shazamm ! Online.

▪ The classic version of Shazamm! Was imagined roughly 15 years ago by two co-authors :

- Philippe des Pallières, creator of famous and well-known games like "La Guerre des moutons", "Armada" or "The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow".

- François Bruel, creator of the graphic universe of Shazamm!, author of the first software adaptation of the game.

I have just discovered an interesting project that I would love to show you......

Shazamm! is a game of strategy and trickery for everyone. Fight and confront, in a dual, wizards from around the world, and become the most powerful of all of them!

Created about ten years ago from the imagination of the well-known author Philippe des Pallières, co-author of the famous "The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow", Shazamm! was originally a board game.

After several months of work, Matthias Rougier (developer) and Mihran Alaverdyan (designer) introduced the Shazamm! Online application which will be available for the alpha version testers.

The app includes all the features of the board game and uses the unprecedented possibilities offered by the application. Great duals await you !
