In Shazam, each player assumes the role of a knight and his goal is to rescue a princess kidnapped by Torak, the evil wizard! To fulfill its mission, players must go through several cities of the kingdom in search four artifacts: a map, a sword, a key and an antidote. The game is divided into two parts: the first part the players use money cards to buy clues that will lead to artifacts. For each clue purchased the player moves his marker on a specific track and get a bonus. In the second part of the game, the mechanics changes completely, and players use the collected artifacts and more help from alchemists to win four different tests, and rescue the princess. Shazam is a game in European style with medium level of complexity and can satisfy the more experienced players and more casual!
