ELEMENTS

Elements is a fast, minimal head-to-head board game built around four elemental cards: Fire, Wind, Thunder, and Water. Read the matchups, make one clever swap each round, and outsmart your opponent before time runs out. ■ Simple rules, deep mind games The four elements beat each other in a cycle — like rock-paper-scissors: Fire → Wind → Thunder → Water → Fire Each element beats the next one in the cycle. Matching elements — and opposite pairs (Fire vs Thunder, Wind vs Water) — end in a draw. Every matchup comes from this single rule, so it takes seconds to learn and games to master. ■ How to play - Each player has a row of 3 cards on the field, plus 1 card in hand. - The three facing cards clash head-to-head. Win a lane to score; win all three for a bonus. - There are no turns. Both players choose a move in secret at the same time, then reveal together. - On your move, you may do exactly one of the following: 1. Swap the position of two of your own field cards 2. Swap one field card with the card in your hand 3. Pass (do nothing) - You have a time limit (30 seconds by default). Don't decide in time, and it counts as a pass. - Matches run over several rounds (5 by default). The higher total score wins. ■ Game modes - Local (pass-and-play): Two players share one device. Moves are entered one after another so your choice stays hidden, then resolved together. - vs CPU: Play solo against the computer. Choose the difficulty before you start. - Online: Match up with another player and duel in real time. ■ Features - Quick matches — a full game fits into a short break. - Play offline against the CPU; no account required. - Jump straight in as a guest. Signing in with Google or Apple is optional and only used to carry your profile across devices. - English and Japanese supported, with light and dark themes. Free to play, supported by ads. Learn the cycle, read your rival, and make the winning swap.
