    Description

    Welcome to the world of Elementa Arcanum. Hundreds of years in the future, scientific advances have given humans control over the power behind the elemental forces of nature: Fire, Water, Wind and Earth. Through genetic engineering, the richest families of the galaxy have evolved a race of superhuman wizards. The strongest representatives of each generation participate in a galactic tournament once a year called the Elementa Arcanum -- a spectacle so mesmerizing it surpassed the Olympics and rendered it obsolete. As the years pass, the most talented of each generation slowly begin to emerge until a victor is declared. The winner is named the Elementa Prima and dons the Black Hole Robes, forever etched into history. Will you wield Ultima and master the 4 Elements?

    Elementa Arcanum is a deck-building card game for 1-6+ players. Players alternate between Combat Turns, where they vie for Stars (Victory Points) and Research Turns where players can improve and optimize their decks. The first player to 5 Stars wins the game. The rules are relatively simple and can be taught to newcomers while the game is underway through the "Teaching Game" system. The game has a very small form-factor and is highly portable. A common shop containing new cards for players to acquire uses a tiered system and uses rules to prevent shop stagnation.
