Elements is a simple card game in which players try to collect 15 symbols of one of the three elements (wood, fire or water) using a rock - paper - scissors mechanism. All players simultaneously select a card from their hand and reveal. If only two different elements show, all cards go to the player showing the highest number of the winning element (fire beats wood, wood beats water and water beats fire). If there is no winner the cards stay on the table and are added once a player wins a round.
