Description

Do you like to play chess and enjoy fantasy card games like Magic the Gathering? Then you will probably like Elemental Chess. It is based on classic chess rules but includes a twist of fantasy. Instead of a full complement of chess pieces, each player begins the game with five pawns, two rooks, two knights, and an elementalist. The elementalist moves like a king and is capable of casting spells from a deck of 32 cards. The spells are used to summon creatures from the various elements: earth, air, water, or fire. Each turn a player will move an existing chess piece or cast a spell. The object of the game is to put your opponent's elementalist in checkmate.
