Elementos

This abstract strategy game has rivals set elemental traps, flip hidden pieces, and advance a wand across the board. The changing fire-water-tree cycle means concealed information can overturn an apparently safe route.

Elementos is a fast-paced strategy game for two. Rules are easy and quick to learn but unleash a game with surprising strategic depth. Elementos is about setting traps and thinking ahead. It's a head to head challenge taking place in a natural setting. The idea behind Elementos is simple. We play in a world of 3 fundamental elements: Fire, water and a tree.. The 3 different elements complete a life cycle; fire takes tree, tree takes water, and water takes fire; the elements create a comfy state of equilibrium. Thing is, each game piece is actually a two faced deceiving character since game pieces can be flipped to reveal a different element on their other side known only to their master. These elements are potential carriers of your wand, which is the real star of the game. Be the first player to advance the wand to the other side of the board – and you become an Elemaster, a winner of the game. The game is portable, and all game parts are made of wood with top quality prints (silkscreened).
