The Elemental Apes Game is a *turn-based game* where the main goal is to Defeat all enemies your Apes are facing. 

Each turn, a player must strategically use and play with the ape that maximizes the chance of victory. \
To Join the game ***you need at least 1 Elemental Ape*** and you will be able to play different battle modes: **1vs1, 2vs2 and 3vs3**. \
\
During Each turn you can choose to Attack the enemy or use Potions/Items.\
\
In 2v2 or 3vs3 Battle Mode the winner is the Team that defeats all the Enemies. \
Winning Team will earn **EXP Points** and also **$ELM.** (our ESDT Token)**.**

After each game your Apes have to recover their HP, you can both let them rest for 4H or you can use **$ELM** to revitalize their HP.
