About the game

What is Elysium

Mythic Greece. As an upstart demigod, you want to earn the favor of the Olympians and become a figure of legend yourself. Gather heroes and powerful artifacts, please the gods and bear their power to write your own epic tale.

Let your allies achieve their destiny and enter the Elysium, home of the glorious and the brave. Once the stories are written, only one demigod will be chosen to stand at the side of Zeus.

Elysium is a game of set collecting and combinations in which players recruit cards representing heroes, items, powers and gods. These cards have many different powers and you can create powerful combination to earn gold (the help of the gods) and victory points (the favor of the gods). Each card belongs to one of the eight Olympians gods (a family), and shows a level (1 to 3).

During the five turns of the game, players will try to transfer their cards to the Elysium and write their own Legends, which are series of cards from the same family or from different families of the same level. The more epic the Legends, the more favor from the gods they’ll earn. But as they go to Elysium, most cards lose their power and players will therefore have to renounce some of their combinations !

Es un juego de cartas, en el que cada jugador dispone de un tablero (que es solo una franja de carton). Las cartas sobre la franja son el dominio y bajo la franja son la leyenda. El juego consiste en cinco rondas. En cada ronda, el jugador escoge una de las cartas ofrecidas (Se ofrecen 3 por jugador +1) o una de las cartas que altera el orden del turno. Para poder coger una carta debes disponer de un token del color adecuado, según los símbolos que aparezcan en dicha carta. Es decir, en cada turno, el jugador va a escoger siempre tres cartas y una de turno. La gracia está en las restricciones

Juego de cartas de gestión para adquirirlas y de hacer combos con las acciones o al bajarlas para puntuar, donde puedes hacer combinaciones de escalera o de todas iguales. Tiene su punto entretenido, sería jugar más para valorarlo.
