What this is
In Elysium, players create mighty combinations, write epic legends, and earn the favour of the Gods. During the five turns of the game, players will try to transfer their cards to the Elysium and write their own Legends, which are series of cards from the same family or from different families of the same level. The game is a game of set collecting and combinations in which players recruit cards representing heroes, items, powers and gods.
