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.
