By using various elements (glass stones) and their corresponding properties, players try to surround their opponents wizard so that they are unable to make any further moves.

At the beginning of each turn 4 dice are rolled that will tell you which elements you can add to the board. Special element properties correspond to placing the element stones. At any time during during their turn, a player can move their wizard. Players can only move their own Wizard piece but elements can be controlled by either player.
