Play and learn about the Five Elements!
This card game is all about having fun while learning about the Taoist 5 elements, Wu Xing.
What are the five elements?
The Five Element theory was once described by Eastern/Chinese scientists while analyzing nature, man and their behavior. They used the language of the seasons to explain everything they noticed. This is why the five elements are related to the five seasons: the four seasons plus the 'late summer', 'Indian summer'.

What others say about the card game
NICK POLE - United Kingdom:
"In all my teaching I try to make the learning as full of games as possible because it’s the best way to learn, so I think your card game is great and I will tell my colleagues about it.
For anyone teaching students about the Five Elements, your cards would be a very useful teaching tool.”

I use these cards to help me refresh my memory about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I am able to see the many relationships as core principles in Taoism concerning the 5 elements and living in sync with the seasons. This card game gives you the opportunity to “Know Thyself.”
I highly recommend this card game to others. You will learn a lot and have fun as you learn!"
