Elysium
Draft Greek myth cards for powers or points, but never both at once. Every transfer is agonizing.
Who it's for
Drafting enthusiasts who enjoy agonizing decisions between keeping abilities and scoring points.
Not for you if…
You want straightforward scoring. The domain-to-Elysium transfer timing is counterintuitive at first.
Vibe's take
agonizing transfer decisions, Greek mythology, deep drafting, power vs. points, high variety
About this game
Draft cards from Greek mythology families and arrange them in your domain and your Elysium. Cards in your domain give powerful ongoing abilities but score zero points; transfer them to your Elysium for points but lose the ability forever. The draft uses colored column tokens that limit which cards you can take and which bonuses you claim. Eight mythological families (use five per game) create enormous variety. The tension between keeping powers active and scoring points is constant and agonizing. A deeply strategic drafting game disguised in Greek myth.
