Gormiti figures and trading cards are the main play aspect of this Boys favourite toy. The figures are based on the Gormiti characters and carry a number on the bottom of the foot (1 to 9); the idea of play involves adding this number to a trading card and if your score is higher than your opponent, you win. The cards also have a power number.

The Invincible Lords of Nature!
As every fan and “would be” hero of Gormiti knows the beautiful island of Gorm was a peaceful place full of nature-loving people until one day everything was destroyed by the Lord of Magma the Volcano Tribe; Magmion.
By awakening the sleeping volcano Fire Mountain all was lost, the whole island was destroyed and all its inhabitants. However, one person did survive to save the day; the wise Old Sage. By using his magical powers he gave life to new creatures called the Gormiti to restore the once magnificent island.
The Good Gormiti tribes were created from the natural elements: Earth, Forest, Sea and Air and against them were the baddies in the Magma and Lava tribes. The evil Magmion tricks the good tribes into fighting against each other as well as bad tribes.
