Formerly called steemonster, Splinterlands is a trading card game, it was created by Jesse Reich, with a beta version of the game, James requested a fundraiser on the Kickstarter page, the ambitious presentation of the game made him raise $ 202,159 of the $25,000 that he originally requested.
The platform is in an ecosystem that operates 24 hours a day, using the Steem network, the cards acquired are the exclusive property of the player, all cards have a value, that allows the cards to be collectible, A card can sell for $ 100 on a typical day, but in the card market you can find cards of up to $ 12,000 depending on the rarity of their abilities.
The gameplay is simple, in the first instance, but it brings with it a series of abilities, spells, conditions, that make it a strategy game, it consists of choosing a summoner, you can select the element: fire, water, earth, life, death, dragon and neutral. Then you will go to the selection of your cards, the game is automatic once the game starts, the battles last between 1 to 2 minutes, each battle won will give you points to go up in the league and will also reward you with DEC (Crystals of Dark Energy) that you can exchange for cryptocurrencies.
A palabras de Jesse Reich:
The play style is super fast, great for people on the go, and doesn't make you tediously wait for opponents who aren't paying attention.
There are over 140 types of cards in the game with over 60 different abilities and literally millions of unique combinations of cards with over one thousand unique rule sets to test your mettle. The skill of the game is in team building, understanding abilities, adapting to rule sets, and outsmarting your opponent. Good luck, it's easy to learn and tougher than it looks.
You can perform daily missions that will give you rewards, they will always have participants who will want to acquire cards, as additional information, participants have the opportunity to share their experiences about the game in Splintertalk meeting place for players who share their experiences and will be rewarded in the same way for their Splintertalk currency, you can also find them at Discord and Telegram.
In my opinion, Splinterlads is a very entertaining game, but it is not for everyone, at the beginning it can be frustrating to find a strategy for each condition that the game sets, to find the cards that you know best to use and apply them in the game, once you found your game style, you can see how fantastic the multiple possibilities that the game allows you, one can realize that the game has not yet reached its highest peak, I will look forward to that moment.
