Fire, Water, Earth & Air — Four Elements is a quick, turn-based game packed with action. There are no dice, no cards, and no rulebook. How you take down your opponent is up to you. Will you build a mighty fortress? Will you use strategy to outmaneuver your opponent? Can you master the elements? In turns, each player flicks one of their Elements, aiming to knock the opponent's pieces off the table. A player wins when the opponent's Lord piece is knocked off. Before the game starts, the players set up their Elements however they like. Rotate your Elements, stack them up, and place them however you like. Creativity is limited only by your imagination. What makes the game`s great replayability is that it can be played on any table or surface, impacting the gameplay fundamentally. What started with Fire, Water, Earth & Air has now been expanded to Light & Darkness. New game content is created constantly fueling the active community.
