Elementaurs

What is Elementaurs

Players play from a hand of cards which have creatures with attributes that are based on the properties of the elements on the periodic table. Each player is trying to collect the largest army, there is no actual fighting in the base game but this is planed for adding into future expansions.

The top card of the draw pile is turned over, and each player tried to win that card to their army by playing a card from their hand that can match to that card and also using their standard multiplier cards that they can keep and reuse in the game. The winning player, which is determined by the actually chemical reactivity printed on the card, adds wining pair of cards to his army, and the loser takes the card they played back into their hand. The winner then draws back their hand to starting number and reveals the next card off the draw deck to win.

When the entire draw deck is emptied players can attempt to combine cards from their had and if that is possible can then add them to their army. The winner is the player with the largest army.
