You might be asking yourself (Self) what is this SplinterForge RentMoney Speaks of? Is it yet another game release from Splinterlands (Nope) Good we already have enough of that at current time. Is it something that is being added to the in game marketplace of Splinterlands (Nope) good my wallet is in pain and wants to rest. Is it.... (Not that either). RentMoney tell us What is SplinterForge? SplinterForge is a game that will utilize our Splinterland cards. This game is not created by the Splinterlands team and its tokens/packs or any other form of currencies/ in game assets are not directly associated with the Splinterlands company in any way. Official SplinterForge Homepage: https://splinterforge.io
Boss Monsters and Boss Fights has long been discussed among Splinterland players and eventually we will get to see just that but as we know Splinterlands has many working parts that are being improved on and implemented routinely. This means that the roll out of features such as LAND and BOSS Fights sometimes get delayed. For those who are highly anticipating Boss Battles, SplinterForge just might be able to fulfill that craving. That's right SplinterForge is introducing Boss Battles to the Splinterlands community by way of creating their own game (SplinterForge) that can be played today.
Above is a screen shot that you will see upon going to the official SplinterForge homepage. As it notes you can play today but everything will be reset before pre-sale starts. Curious as to when that is (Me To). As the popup states, "This Pop-up will be updated with pre-sale information when it is announced". So one way to make sure you don't miss out on SplinterForge pre-sale is go to their homepage from time to time and read the pop-up details. There was some SplinterForge information in the latest town-hall where a SplinterForge representative discussed the game. I'll leave a video directly below for those who are interested. SplinterForge talk starts after the teams introductions around the 3:30 Minute mark.
As is stated in the Town-Hall there will be a total of One Million SplinterForge packs for sale with 200,000 being available in the presale. SplinterForge will follow a similar model as the Splinterland games and will offer airdrops at certain sell points. It is also noted in the Splinterlands Town-Hall that one can find SplinterForgess pre-sale info posted in the SplinterForge community located on the Hive Blockchain. I did a little digging and found out the below.

Pre-sale will be December 5th, 3-4 weeks before the live launch. 200k CRATEs will be available for $3 worth of SPS, SWAP.HIVE, VOUCHER, or 3,000 DEC/FORGE each. General sale CRATEs will only be available for 3,000 Forgium (FORGE) or 3,000 DEC.
That introduction for SplinterForge was longer then I intended but the information needed to be shared. The original reasoning for this post and my over the top click bait title (or is it only time will tell) is the Forgium (Forge) token in which is going to be accepted at the rate of $1/1000 by the SplinterForge game. Now if we take a quick look at the secondary price of Forgium we will see that currently the buy orders are at the price of 0.000691 HIVE. With the presale not starting until December 5th there is plenty of time to purchase some FORGE so I decided to put in a buy order for 150,000. If fulfilled I will be able to participate in the 50 Crate bonus offer. If not its Likely I just purchase the 10 Crate option instead. Digging a little deeper into my 150,000 purchase order the cost would be 104* HIVE which is currently worth about $37* USD. The value I get in return would be worth $150 USD (using the price in which the SplinterForge game plans on accepting the FORGE token at) or if the game is unsuccessful less than $37* USD. Will the game be a success; no-one can say for sure but I do know one thing and that thing is the following. I want to support community members and games that bring utility to our Splinterland assets as each new use-case brought to our Splinterlands assets bring an extra layer of value to those assets. On top of that Supporting games such as SplinterForge will encourage others to build games in which utilize our Splinterland assets. So is the FORGE token a potential gold mine (It could be but like all things in cryptocurrency and most things in life, there is risk).
