Elemental Clash
Elemental Clash is a free print and play LCG for two players designed by Andreas Propst. Players represent mighty sorcerers duelling each other by summoning creatures and casting spells.

Synopsis:

In ancient times long gone by, when the veil between the world of the humans and the realm of magic was thinner, almighty wizards battled each other in epic duels to determine who was the master of sorcery and arcane wisdom. Armed with a Spellbook filled with powerful magic, and with the aid of the enchanted Element Stones the Sorcerers summoned fantastic Creatures and Spells. A wizard who ran out of pages in their Spellbook would lose the magical battle of wits.

Gameplay:

Each player has to build a Spellbook, which is a deck consisting of exactly 40 cards chosen out of a large pool of available cards (240 different cards as of January 2010). The deck contains Element Stones, Spells and Creatures. Element Stones are needed to power Spells and Creatures. Spells and Creatures, which usually belong to one of the elements Earth, Air, Fire and Water (hence the name of the game), are used to attack and deal damage to the opponent, have certain beneficial effects on the game or are used to weaken the opponent. For each point of damage a player receives through creatures and spells, he or she has to put the topmost card of his or her Spellbook onto his or her Archive (Discard-Pile). Is a player unable to draw a card from the Spellbook, he or she loses immediately.

Release:

Elemental Clash is available for free download, print and play (see link section below) and was published through The Game Crafter LLC, a print-on-demand service, in october 2009. Presently, the basic set as well as three expansion sets (60 cards each) are available. More sets are released regularly.
