How To Play
In Command of Nature, players choose a Sage and face off in a deck-building battle of the Elements. The last Sage standing wins the game!
To get started, pick the Sage that will represent you during the game! Each Sage comes from a different Elemental Faction and provides a unique strategic advantage.
Set up your Sage Board, Starting Formation, Draw Piles, and the Markets by following the instructions in the rule book. Note: The setup shown is for 2 players. Setup for 4 players will look different.
Now you’re ready to start the game! Your turn is divided into four Phases. During Phase I, you’ll use the Daybreak effects of cards in your formation. Daybreak effects are indicated by a sun symbol on a card, and can only be triggered during Phase I.
During Phase II, you’ll spend up to 4 action points (AP) to perform standard actions and faction actions. Above are the standard actions you can take! You can perform standard actions in any order, and you can perform the same standard action more than once on your turn if you still have AP to spend.
Faction Actions are unique and can be found listed on your Sage Board. Each time you defeat an Elemental in your opponent’s formation, you’ll increase your level on your Sage Board by 1. As your level rises, you’ll unlock up to 3 faction actions. Each faction action costs 1 AP to perform, and you may only perform 1 faction action per turn.
During Phase III, you may use your gold to buy cards from the markets, sell cards to collect more gold, and refresh the markets. Learn more about gold, and the Markets in the Take A Closer Look section below!
During Phase IV, you’ll clean up your hand before ending your turn. Do this by discarding any number of cards from your hand, then draw from your deck until you have 5 cards in your hand. If you end your turn with more than 5 cards, discard down to 5.
Continue taking turns, building your deck, and taking down Elementals in your opponents Formation. When you defeat your opponent’s Sage, you win the game and earn the title of Master of the Elements!

Sage Boards
Pick the Sage that will represent you during the game as you brace yourself for a formidable face-off! Each Sage comes from a different Elemental Faction and provides a unique strategic advantage.
Elementals
Enlist the help of Basic Elementals, Elemental Warriors, and Elemental Champions from your Sage pack and the Elemental Market to strengthen your formation and protect your Sage! You can build your deck exclusively with Elementals from one faction (Pebble, Leaf, Twig, or Droplet), or any combination of the four.
Commands
Your Elementals are directionless without instructions from their fearless leader (that’s you)! Use Command cards throughout the game to protect yourself, manipulate your formation, and initiate combat in your quest to take down your rival Sages!
The Markets
Your Sage pack is a great base for your deck, but in Command of Nature, true strategic deck-building comes from savvy use of the Markets! At the end of your turn, you can spend gold at the Elemental and Command Markets to upgrade your deck with battle-ready Elementals and powerful Command cards.
Tokens
Command of Nature has four types of tokens: boosts, shields, damage counters, and gold coins. Collect gold coins in the wallet section of your Sage board to spend at the Markets. Employ boosts, shields, and damage counters on affected Elementals in your formation to reflect any changes to their base stats.
Our Story
We launched our first game, Unstable Unicorns, in 2017, and have been obsessed with making games ever since. All of our games are created by a team of in-house game developers and artists who pride themselves on making games that walk the line between adorable and diabolical. Keep an eye out for jokes and Easter eggs as you play, and you may find some delightful details.
While TeeTurtle’s games can be brutal and vicious, we actually create them to bring people together. After all, the strongest friendships begin with good old-fashioned power struggles during game night. Our games are created to be accessible and easy to learn for new players, but complex enough to keep seasoned veterans intrigued for years to come.
