I wrote a few times about CryptoWars, an online strategy game in which you play with real crypto (as opposed to some in game tokens). The game is being built by a company called Experimental (or it's more like a group), an entity which has a significant experience in building online games.
Their ICO was one of the most honest I saw, and also one of the most interesting. They started with only 300 people each of them contributing 1 ETH, but what was more important than the financial contribution was the skills distribution. In other words, they didn't just want to raise some money, but mostly to build a team.
The ICO phenomenon drastically lost momentum during the last few months, but the E11 team (that's how Experimental CryptoWars token is called, e11) continued to push forward, with development, marketing and customer building.
The game was extensively tested on ETH testnets (I tested myself a few hours, and I can testify it's playable) and it is scheduled to be launched in December (less than 2 months from now). Side note: it's one of the few crypto startup promises that's actually fulfilled: they scheduled the game lunch by the end of this year and they will deliver, it seems.
Ahead of this launch, Experimental also launched a skins marketplace. It's basically an opportunity to buy some game enhancements before the actual game is launched, giving you some sort of advantage over other players. Actually, you don't know if you will get an advantage, because you don't know how many of your potential opponents bought the skin packs, so the wise move would be to buy them anyway.
The skins are NFT (non fungible tokens) created on Ethereum and they are more akin to crypto kitties than to an utility token, which, in theory, should raise their market value.
If you want to try out the game when it launched, and have a look at the skins, click here.
