Hello Fam!
I hope that life is treating you well wherever you are in this part of the world.
I am trying to get familiar with the other game after splinterlands. This is another game that I am trying to play and it is under the same ecosystem of splinterlands. It is also based on different cards, unlike the cards we get with the splinterlands. There are certain Nfts we can use but the utility is completely different and apparently, the entire gaming model is also different.

I believe that in every project it is necessary to understand it properly and that is what I have been trying to do for the last few days. Still, there is a lot that I am trying to set up and hopefully, it should be up and running in a few days. I am trying to set up my account so that I can start playing the game. Some steps are involved in between and also certain requirements should be set up first.
So fasting first is the requirement to have some funds in the game which can be credits or script. Are used hype to buy some credits today which I can use later to buy NFT cards. This is an easy process because you can buy it on the game page and there are multiple options when it comes to making the payment apart from the Hive. I just used hive because it is easy and I had some hive coins with me.
It also has the option to go with PayPal but like I already mentioned for me hive is easier option. I used a keychain application to confirm the transaction and within few seconds it was processed successfully. I got the amount of credits in my account after the transaction was successful.
After getting credits in my account I head to the marketplace. If the market is located in the game web portal after the login and there you can get any card that you want to buy. There are also options to buy the packs but I chose to go with the card as of now.
We need to have 1 NFT card of type Kart and 1 NFT card of type Driver. You can call it nft only or you can also call it nft card which means the same but I think I prefer saying it card than just NFT.
So now I managed to buy the NFT for the card and driver and the payment was done using the credits. You can call this in-game currency which you can use in the game for buying different digital assets.
After buying both the NFT cards I went ahead to the gameplay option and it started loading.
This is the next option you get on the page where you need to claim your auto vault and it is for free. This is required and you cannot skip this step when you move ahead to the game but please note that it is just a time setup.
On the next phase you should be able to see that there are certain options where you can choose single player or the multiplayer.
You need to set up your cart and driver so the nfts I have purchased already will be used here. We just need to click on the plus button and it gives you the option to choose so if you have more than one then you have the option to choose the one you like.
Because I have just one each so I do not have more options so I have chosen the available option for this one. Now in the below snapshot you can see that I have Astrocart and Aurora as a driver for me and it is reflected on the screen.
Now the next option for me is to start the race however in between I need to have some in-game currency especially the script token to manage the fuel part.
I have also placed the buy order for the script and I hope this should be filled soon because this is going to help me set up my gameplay ahead. I want to mention here that there are certain components you need to have in the game and you just can't play the game without having those assets and components. Initial setup that every player needs to have and I am trying to get that done so my setup is not complete.
There are multiple things to consider before you go on the racing ground and I am still trying to figure out how I can understand it well and utilise the best possible way. Because I have already purchased the required NFT cards and have some credits and hopefully should have script as well.
Web 3 gaming might sound easy but as far as I understand it we need to spend some time on the learning side which I am trying to do with the Moonkart game. I have done it already with Splinterlands so now I know how to play that game and the same I am doing with the Moon cart game so I also come on the stage where I am good to play it. It might take some more time but its fine because I'm not in a hurry instead I prefer to have a thorough understanding before I start playing so in a way I am just setting up things for myself and hopefully I should be able to play the race very soon.
