Anyone who knows a little bit about blockchain blogging will already have come across the HIVE blockchain, which is an offshoot of the STEEM chain that has been active for several years.
I myself used to be very active on Steem in the past, and since recently I am back again and also active on Hive, and on the latter a rather entertaining and interesting game was just launched a few weeks ago.
In this game you need pigs to play, which you can buy and win in up to 8 different levels. Two players can enter the ring and battle a swine duel, i.e. by clicking the mouse the pigs are tossed into the air and depending on the position they land in, the players are awarded points. The duel continues until one of the two players has reached a certain number of points.
clean 100,000 points with a target of 625,000
In every duel you can win grunt tokens, which are credited depending on the level and experience of the pigs used. In addition, with a bit of luck you can lure one of your opponent's pigs away and into your own stable. With a lucky hand you can build up a larger herd of pigs. Of course, the pendulum can also swing in the other direction and you can lose and have to give away pigs to your opponent if that happens repeatedly.
You will need not only luck but also a bit of tactics, because you have to estimate if you risk another throw or if you bank and let your opponent have a turn. Maybe better sometimes to let your pigs rest for a while. Because after too many tosses the risk of a pig-out increases, in which you lose all the points you have gained during a turn and your opponent will have another chance to score and beat you.
try to avoid the Pig-Out at all costs
The game has an excellent entertainment value and since you must not forget that you are playing with virtual but real values, it also has a higher adrenaline level. For example, a level 3 pig is traded for $5, and of course you don't want to lose that easily.
At the moment there is the possibility to buy pigs in the game's own shop for different crypto-currencies like Hive or Ethereum, or to auction them on an external marketplace. So if you play well in this game and win often, you can earn some cryptocoins here and redirect them to your Ethereumwallet.
The makers behind Pickericks are quite active and can be reached at any time through different channels like Discord or Telegram. They also try to actively advertise for new players and there are different great campaigns where you can win valuable pig packages of the Grunz-token.
I myself have been playing for almost three weeks now and have been quite active, as the game gets you hooked pretty quickly. I have already managed to get a small pig gang together and am always happy to meet new players. Of course, I've also suffered a number of bitter defeats, but in that case you just have to shake the dust off your coat and get up again.
nobody is hearing my cries
It's good to see that there is a new application on the Hive Blockchain, and I hope that this game will delight many more players.
You can log in to Pickericks quite easily with your hive account and your postingkey and then get a picture of the whole thing for yourself.
In this case, please refer to my hive name
