Description

In Elysium, you'll embark on a thrilling adventure through mythic Greece as an upstart demigod, seeking to earn the favor of the Olympians and become a legendary figure. To achieve this, you'll gather heroes and powerful artifacts, pleasing the gods and harnessing their power to craft your own epic tale. With a playtime of 60 minutes, this game is perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a challenging yet rewarding experience. As you recruit cards representing heroes, items, powers, and gods, you'll create powerful combinations to earn gold and victory points. Each card belongs to one of the eight Olympian gods and has a level, allowing you to build legendary stories and transfer them to the Elysium. The game requires balance and strategic thinking, as you'll need to weigh the benefits of using your cards' powers against the need to transfer them to the Elysium, where most cards lose their power. With its unique blend of set collecting and card drafting, Elysium offers a fun and engaging experience that will keep you coming back for more.
