Playful Minds is looking for dedicated beta testers to help test two of 
their upcoming games, Green Thumb Cards and Elemental Wars (see 
descriptions of games below).  Green Thumb is currently in beta while 
Elemental Wars will be in beta in the coming weeks.

Rewards:  For dedicated testers we will be offering a free copy of the 
game at the end of the project and you’ll be included in the credits of 
the game!

Responsibilities:  Of course beta test the game as much as you possibly 
can.  Along with that we ask that you be active in our beta test forums 
and report bugs in our online bug tracking system.

How to sign up:  Just go to www.playfulminds.com and sign up, its that 
easy!

Green Thumb Description:
Green Thumb is a fun, VERY addictive game about gardening with cute 
graphics and entertaining sound effects. It is great for all ages and 
quite challenging. It plays much like Rummy in which you collect sets of 
plant cards while stealing cards from your neighbors with bugs and insects.

Elemental Wars Description:
Through the millennia, the mages of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water have 
disputed which element is the strongest. Now, the four elemental mages 
have challenged each other to a battle of wits and power. The elemental 
arena has been created. The mages summon spells are ready. The battle 
elemental supremacy has begun!

Elemental Wars is somewhat similar to the popular Reversi with the 
following changes. It is two to four players. Stones do not have to be 
surrounded to be captured. Stones are actually elementals of earth, 
wind, water, and fire. An elemental needs only be placed adjacent to 
another elemental for it to change it. Only certain elementals change 
other elementals. Water changes fire but nothing else. Fire converts 
earth. Earth converts wind. Wind converts water. Each player can place 
any elemental. Play ends when all board tiles are filled. The player 
with the most elemental wins. There are two optional play styles: one in 
which diagonal pieces are not converted and another in which it costs 
more mana to summon elementals not in your realm.
