Elemental Tempest is a trick taking, point scoring card game for 3 to 5 players. Each round, each player in turn plays a card from their hand, following suit if possible. If you can not follow suit, you can play a card of the Element that trumps that current suit changing the suit and nullifying the previous suit. The person who played the highest ranking card takes all the cards played that round and sets them aside for later scoring. Rounds continue until all cards are played, then they are scored. The first player to end a round with over 60 points is the winner.
