Elekt is a board game released in 2019 for 2–4 players, 60–90 minutes per game, and ages 16 and up. It was designed by Krzysztof Głośnicki and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Open Drafting.
Elekt is a tactical card game steeped in a dark fantasy climate of horror and intrigue. This tactical card game for 2-4 people features 100 beautifully illustrated cards depicting the ghosts and servants of Darkness who will fight for you in your attempt to seize the throne of the dark Ebionite Dominat as a new Emperor-Elekt. This game offers a lot of strategic decisions driven by intuition and cunning. Elekt is set in the post-apocalyptic techno-fantasy world of Klanarchia, created by Michał Markowski, and described in the RPG Klanarchia handbook.
Elekt supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Elekt is 60–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Elekt for ages 16 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Elekt has a complexity rating of 2.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
