Take on the role of an ambitious demigod who is trying to claim a place at the summit of mount Olympus.

Recruit Heroes, acquire Artifacts, and undertake heroic Quests to forge your own Legends. During the five Epochs of the game, you will build powerful card combinations and then destroy them, as the cards must be transferred to your Elysium to earn you Victory Points.

What Matthew says

“Elysium is a game close to my heart, giving players a smorgasbord of different cards and powers to combine in powerful ways.

Even more than this, the game has a unique structure: the cards are divided into 8 families based around a different Greek god, and in each game you will only use cards from 5 families, meaning a different set of abilities will be present each time.

The result is a tense, replayable engine building game where you have to tear down your engine just as you get it running! ”
