Elysium

Each turn, you'll select cards from a shared pool, carefully considering which ones will synergize best with your existing tableau and help you achieve your strategic goals. <p>However, the glory of your city is fleeting. To truly ascend to Elysium and secure your legacy, you must 'transfer' these valuable cards from your domain into your personal Elysium collection, scoring points but also permanently removing them from your active influence. Managing this delicate balance between building your city and preserving its achievements is the key to victory.
