About the Game

エレメンタルトランクマン (Elemental Trunk Man) is a Japanese game, following up from Time Trunk Man. You are an Elemental Trunk Man, a time-traveling agent, who unblocks treasure boxes collected over time and takes out treasures. With the help of the elemental spirits, we will unlock the seal of the treasure chest and aim to open more treasure chests than our rivals!

We will start from the point where you can communicate with the four spirits of Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth. In order to open the sealed treasure chest, we communicate with the spirits to gain mana and unseal the treasure chest. You can earn points of contribution by the degree of contribution.

There are two things you can do in your turn! -Summoning spirits (increases the spirits that can be communicated) -Unseal the seal of the treasure box (Communicates with the spirits, obtains mana and unseals the seal of the treasure box)

The spirits are wooden tokens of the four elements. On your turn, you shake up your set and throw them. The pieces that land upright can be used to trigger your actions. The more tokens you collect, the better chance of success.

There are some treasure chests where bonus points can be added to the contribution points by releasing the seal quickly, and by removing the final seal. It is important to have the bonus points at the end of the game and the timing of releasing it. However, if you do not summon the spirits, it will become difficult later.

Summoning spirits requires a deck build idea of ​​how to combine the spirits. It's fun to think of your own combination. In addition, it may be important to change the combination depending on the situation of the treasure chest."
