Rising Star is one of Hive's oldest and most successful games. It has been running for over 5 years now and has a very loyal band of enthusiastic players. Unlike most DApps on Hive, it is currently self-funding, despite the downturn in players during these terrible markets.
I've recently decided to drop out (again!) from playing . I feel I'm spending far too much of my time playing and 'faffing' around with cards and things, and also, to get any higher up the leaderboard would take a huge additional investment. Who knows, I may buy back in again later. I'm not dumping the whole of my 20,000+ card collection, and I know I can be rather capricious!
Talking of the low prices, this is actually the ideal time for anyone who isn't playing to get on board.
This is NOT an affiliate link, and if you do start playing, drop me a message in DIscord, and I'll send you a few cards and Starbits to get you going.
The point of this post is to try and help a few of the lower players get a little foot up the league table, which is very top-heavy. The top twenty or so players have positively, invested a lot of Hive into the game, but the flipside of this is that it makes it almost impossible for players who don't have unlimited funds to get the new, rarer cards when they are released. It's quite the conundrum but on balance, it would be nice to see some movement in position at the top of the table rather than it being completely static as it is now.
OK, enough waffle, let's get down to the giftaway.
Over the last few years, 'FIx-it' cards have needed to be purchased using Starbits to create a blended card. This is a good thing as purchasing cards from the game helps to keep it financed, but it does mean that it's less affordable for many, and the blended cards are very rare and hardly ever on the market, especially at a reasonable price.
The first card I'm giving away is S96a Pinkie, a Valentine's card from 2025.
As you can see, there have only been 31 minted, and there are none on sale currently. Great stats on this card, it will give the smaller players a real boost, as well as adding to their 'unique cards' tally.
The second card is from last Christmas, S92a Mrs Clause.
A few more printed this time, thirty-eight, and a few on the market, but look at the silly prices. Seriously!
So how can I win?
Simply drop me a comment and tell me. That's it. The only stipulation I have is that the cards will only go to someone who doesn't have one already. As has been activated, hopefully everyone will also get a few slivers of Hive even if they don't get one of the cards.
Thanks for dropping by and if any of you players could mention this post in the discord channel, I'd be grateful. Winners announced in 7 days!
