The day has finally arrived. For many people, trading cards was the game. We almost forgot that there was a game being built around these cards. It is hilarious to think about it really. All of that is

I got the chance to play a few matches on opening day! It is a lot of fun. Currently I am ranked 48... with a win streak of 3. This is too early on to mean anything, but, nonetheless, get in the game.

Hi. I am looking forward to playing steemmonsters in a few days. I want you to play too. I supported the kickstarter campaign in order to get some sweet deals, exclusive cards and alpha packs. I also got
