Why start playing Quintessence?

Quintessence: Elemental Duel is a turn-based 1v1 card duel for mobile with five elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Death. There is no card collecting and no deckbuilding — you just choose a wizard, and the game deals your 20-card hand.

The rules are quick to learn: each turn you take exactly one action — play a card, or Channel to gain +2 mana in one element — and combat plays out automatically. The depth comes from where you place your monsters and which mana you use when.

• One decision per turn, clear rules
• Five elements, five play styles
• Short matches, in portrait and landscape orientation
• Quick online matches or practice against the computer on three difficulty levels

If you are just getting to know the game, start with a practice match against the computer and watch how the facing slots attack each other.
