Product Description

Product Description

ELEMENTOS, Master the elements, be quick and wise, emerge victorious or meet your demise. ELEMENTOS is a 2 player strategy game based on the concept of the children folk game Rock/Paper/Scissors. ELEMENTOS takes the concept of the cycle of the three elements overcoming each other and applies that to three of the five earth elements for a an intriguing head to head challenge! Command Fire, Wood and Water to overcome your opponent and triumph. ELEMENTOS can be played from ages 7+ and with its fabulous design is attractive for both kids and adults alike.

From the Manufacturer

Beautifully designed portable wood board game of tactics and strategy

ELEMENTOS is a fast paced strategy game for two. The idea behind ELEMENTOS is simple. We play in a world of 3 fundamental elements: Fire, water and a tree. The 3 different elements complete a life cycle; fire takes tree, tree takes water, and water takes fire; the elements create a comfy state of equilibrium. But beware, each game piece is actually two faced, flipping it reveals a different element known only to their master allowing each player to surprise, deceive and trap their opponent. Carefully designed from perishable materials it is a perfect game for kids and adults alike. Contents: 1 wood box (playing board) 18 wood double sided game pieces 2 wood sticks Rules of the game

Control the level of difficulty against your opponent easily, child or adult or ADHD

Parents, reviewers, therapists and other professionals claim ELEMENTOS is so dynamic to play it can really help develop children ability to plan ahead and deal with problems. The game can be played like a head to head mind game like chess or get those kids that outgrew checkers to step up and get more tactical.

All real wood with vivid prints

Made of real wood with silkscreened paints it is both durable and perishable so it will last a lifetime and won't harm the environment

Portable, folds easily for carry on

Perfect for travel it comes in a clam shell wood box that has a latch, the box comes in a cardboard sleeve that can be kept, or not. It is great for picnics and is easily carried on a walk to use outdoors.

Get your mind working, smart fun!

Tyto Games wants you to have fun but challenge yourself too and ELEMENTOS is dynamic and fun with traps to set your opponent and surprises to spring when you flip over a game pieces to reveal a stronger element, but we ware each piece is double faced!

Tyto Games is a proud toy inventor and manufacturer developing strategy games that will capture your imagination while keeping you intrigued and captivated. Tyto Games is a new and exciting startup delivering ingenious friendly board games and has made it it's mission to become a world leader in interactive strategy board games. What do we think is an interactive board game? "Creativity is the cause of all change" (Unknown Author) is a moto we live by. We are creative at everything we do from business to personal and we try to keep a good balance between them. Thus we thought that in a world where everything is going virtual but people still very much enjoy human interaction and gaming as a form of leisure and bonding, why not fuse these two together and bridge the ever increasing gap between the generation who brought change and the one who embraces it! So our vision is to turn every piece of our game to a trackable unit using technology and incorporate that into the flow of the game. While in today’s board games and altercation between two players has to stay in the realm of imagination and is totally controlled by the set rules of the games we intend to transform it into and full bodied contextual experience on the virtual domain.

Purple Phoenix Games Review
4 out of 5 stars
Purple Phoenix Games Review
I am going to be honest. I am typically not a fan of abstract strategy games unless they have some kind of interesting theme on them: Azul (a Golden Feather Award winner), Patchwork, Reef, Onitama, Hive. These are all in my Top 100 of All Time, but they also have some sort of theme working for them to help me digest the immense calculating nature of most abstracts. So when I tell you that Elementos has also now breached my Top 100 with a very loose theme, I’m kinda shook myself.So the winner of Elementos is the player that can get their wand (the wooden stick) to one of the three squares on the opponent’s side of the board (a la American football). This is accomplished by moving the element discs down the board and overtaking discs using the game’s elemental weakness wheel: fire burns trees, trees drink water, water douses fire. Movement can be made to any space obliquely, straight forward, or forward diagonally, unless the piece being moved is carrying the wand. Those wand-carrying pieces can only be moved straight forward.Undoubtedly players will find themselves wanting to enter a space containing an opponent’s disc. Following the movement rules and elemental wheel described above, the attacking piece can overtake the opponent’s space and remove the opponent’s disc from the board. Easy, right? Let me explain the kicker here. The discs are double-sided and have different elements on the flip-side. So for an action (instead of moving) a player can simply flip any of their discs to the other side – perhaps to block movement, or setup a takeover on the next turn. As you only have one action to use on your turn you may not flip and move on the same turn. The other allowable action on a turn is to pass the wand to another friendly piece, observing movement rules for wand movement as well. The benefit with this is that the wand-carrying discs can neither attack nor BE attacked. Need to protect your tree from that fire ahead? Pass it the wand and be safe.The rule sheet states that at any time you may peek at what element is on the flip-side of any piece at any time, but there is a variant described where you play the game without peeking, and we found that to be a more enjoyable way to play. You just never know if the other side of your tree is a fire or a water, and it sometimes results in turns where you effectively shoot yourself in the foot. Yes, it diminishes the tactics of the game, and if you would rather plan your moves well ahead of your turns like a Chess Grand Master, so be it. I kinda like the chaotic nature of not knowing what’s on the other side.Components. So this is a clam shell wooden box that pulls double duty as the game board and storage for the other components. It is of good quality, and is reminiscent of the keepsake boxes one might find at Hobby Lobby or the like. The discs are painted and silk-screened plywood discs with a hole in the middle to accept the wand. The wand itself is a length of wooden dowel. All of these components are of good quality, but I wish a different finish was applied to the wood. The finish on the copy I was sent for review isn’t really conducive to sliding pieces on, so I suggest you pick up the pieces (any Average White Band fans here?) and place them where they need to go. Do as I say, not as I do.Overall this is a really great game that I know will see lots of play in my house. My wife likes abstracts a lot and I predict she will enjoy this one as much as she adores Blokus (which she adores a TON). For the ease of teaching, play, and that itch to play just one more time, we at Purple Phoenix Games give this one a no-peek 9 / 12. If you are a fan of Chess, Checkers, or any of the other abstract strategy games I listed earlier, you should really check this one out. It’s a little different and a lot fun.
