Prima Materia

The elements have become misaligned and are causing all sorts of trouble in the world. Severe drought, hurricane after hurricane and yet another super hero movie that no one asked for are just some of the plagues the world has had to live through. In Prima Materia, the players struggle to align the elements in an effort to make all things good again. The elements are represented by sixteen double-sided cards showing one of the four classical elements on each side. These cards are arranged in a grid of four by four cards. Each player holds a secret hand of action cards as well as a card with a secret target sequence. The players use their action cards to change the elemental cards and gain points for each sequence they manage to form. Will the elements realign and introduce stability in the world? Or will we face a future of starvation, war and reggaeton music? —description from the designer
