Elysium - Scripted

Mythic Greece. As an upstart demigod, you want to earn the favor of the Olympians and become a figure of legend yourself. Gather heroes and powerful artifacts, please the gods and bear their power to write your own epic tale.

This is a largely scripted version of one of my favorite games, Elysium. I first realized that Elysium was on TTS thanks to Samuraicat, and have to give a huge thanks for the tokens, decks, models, etc.! Check out the original mod that this came from here. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=628775795

Now to continue with the description from BoardGameGeek.com

Let your allies achieve their destiny and enter the Elysium, home of the glorious and the brave. Once the stories are written, only one demigod will be chosen to stand at the side of Zeus.
Elysium is a game of set collecting and combinations in which players recruit cards representing heroes, items, powers and gods. These cards have many different powers and you can create powerful combination to earn gold (the help of the gods) and victory points (the favor of the gods). Each card belongs to one of the eight Olympians gods (a family), and shows a level (1 to 3).

During the five turns of the game, players will try to transfer their cards to the Elysium and write their own Legends, which are series of cards from the same family or from different families of the same level. The more epic the Legends, the more favor from the gods they’ll earn. But as they go to Elysium, most cards lose their power and players will therefore have to renounce some of their combinations !

A game of balance and opportunity with simple action, but constant dilemmas and complex strategies.


Scripting Notes:
This is the first game I've completed scripting (though can you ever say your work is "completed"?) and I think it turned out really well! If there's something that glitches despite my script notes in game, tell me, and I'll work to find and fix the problem.

Setup is almost completely scripted. Simply select which 5 families you want to play with by pressing their respective buttons, and the game begins.

The gameplay is mostly interactive, as the choices made by players can be quite complex and this also allows for any organizational styles to be used.

The rest of the minor scripting notes are in the notebook in-game, so check them out!

I've also included some thoughts on varying the gameplay for new and exciting play throughs!

I definitely plan to expand on this in the future, so if you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them!
