Forge Your Legend!
In Elysium, players take on the role of ambitious demigods seeking to earn the favor of the gods in their quest to claim a place at the summit of Mount Olympus. On your journey, you will discover powerful artifacts, enlist the aid of mythic heroes and beasts, undertake heroic quests - and perhaps even call upon the gods themselves! When your allies fulfill their destiny, they enter Elysium, and contribute to your legend. Once all the tales are written, a single demigod will join the Olympians!
Elysium is a game of combination and set collecting for 2–4 players, driven by simple actions, but with constant dilemmas and complex strategies. The game is structured around eight decks of 21 cards, each representing the heroes, allies, artifacts, and myths of an individual Olympian god. At the start of each game, you choose five families to shuffle together to form the game deck, and every combination creates a new game experience, giving players new opportunities to explore, and new challenges to overcome.
During the game you will discover powerful ways to combine the game’s many unique card powers, but in time you must help your allies reach Elysium - the final resting place of heroes. Here, their powers can no longer help you, but you will use them to forge you own legends by building valuable card sets, which are the only certain way to secure victory.
Over the five Epochs of the game, you will draft cards from the Agora display in the middle of the play area, placing them first in your Domain where you may use their powers. At the end of the Epoch, you will have the chance to transfer cards to your Elysium and so build valuable collections called Legends that will be reckoned at the end of the game. If you are to win, you must carefully balance the choices of which cards to draft, when to use their powers, and how best to acquire the gold and transfers you need to build your Legends.
