In the fantastic world of Tellus, powerful tremors unearthed the ruins of the ancient structure permeated with magical power. Sorcerers from all over the land gathered, their goal to possess this raw power in form of Elementum particles, crucial for spellcasting and creation of enchancing Power Crystals. This power, hidden for hundreds of years, springs from the four Elemental Sources. Mages, casting elemental spells from the aspects of Earth, Fire, Air and Water take control of Elementum, gathering power – and the one who shall gather the most will uncover the nature’s ultimate secrets and become the world’s greatest elementalist. Elementum is a card game for 1 to 4 players aging 10 and up, taking around 15 minutes to play. Players draft cards, then, each player places the chosen card in his set in the corresponding column next to the common Elemental Source. If the card has an instant effect it’s resolver immediately, but most will have effect only during the final scoring. Cards can also be enchanced using Power Crystals, or interact with the common card pool. After all spell cards are placed in sets the game ends and scoring begins. Each player in turn analyses each card from the set. The player with the most Elementum Particles (VP) wins the game.
