About the game
Halloween! Fast Food! Black Friday! The American cultural invasion has arrived! But five witches —a Valencian, a Catalan, a Galician, a Basque and an Andalusian— will take it on with the help of potions, spells and... their own traditions! In Alakazum! players must collect characters of the same culture (Valencian, Catalan, Galician, Basque or Andalusian) and level them up. When their team is strong enough, players may try to defeat a final boss —an American tradition— in order to win the game. During their quest, players may trade their objects, feed their own characters to protect or strengthen them, fight against other players to steal their characters or cast one of the seven available spells. This is a game where flexibility, adaptability and hand management is a must. Players will need to interact with each other not only to achieve their own goals, but also to spoil their opponents’ strategies. —description from the publisher
