I’ve played sporadically since day 1, bought some packs, backed their initial KickStarter, etc. Recently I’ve been trying to at least play through my daily quest each day... though I’ve even been pretty lax with that this season! I absolutely see some users advance quite far with minimal investment. Like most games, SplinterLands has a pay-to-win component; but the structure really rewards consistency and daily play. I think you can eventually do well grinding out rewards cards and DEC, without putting in money beyond the starter.
