Elysium

2015 · Card Game

Elysium

Players take the role of demigods in mythic Greece, recruiting cards that represent heroes, items, powers and gods to build combinations and write their own Legends. Cards belong to one of eight Olympian families and have levels from 1 to 3; players collect sets by family or by level to score favor and gain gold. Over five rounds, players draft and play cards, manage changing card powers, and decide which cards to transfer to Elysium to complete Legends. The game centers on set collection and engine-building under pressure: powerful combinations yield rewards, but moving cards to Elysium often strips them of abilities, forcing trade-offs between immediate power and long-term scoring.
