Elios - reach for the Sun

ELIOS is an abstract wooden game you play in 2 steps.

Your goal is to be the first player to get rid of all your sticks. Each player receives some colored sticks at the beginning of the game (the number varies with the number of players). 

First, all the players use their sticks to create sets of 1 to 3 sticks in front of them. Then, upon their turn, players will do one of the following actions:

• play a full set on the Sun
• or place a disc on the Sun
• or divide one of their sets into 2 sets.

Of course to play a set, you need to follow certain rules (all the sticks are at the same level, and the set can't be at a higher level than the disc).

The first player to be out of sticks wins the game. In a 4 player game, you can play in teams.
