Splinterlands is trading card game where players build a collection of playable Monsters and Summoners. Splinterlands is a digital, collectible card game built on blockchain technology. Free To Play. Earn Rewards. Collect, Trade and Play.
This was an amazing surprise this morning after checking my old Splinterlands account, an amazing legendary card that I didn't own
The first thing you need to know about cards is how to read the card itself. Let’s take a look at this EPONA.
The number in the upper left represents the EPONA'S mana cost. Each game you play, allows for a maximum amount of mana.
The number on the right within the heart represents the EPONA'S total hit points.
The number on the bottom left represents the EPONA'S speed. Speed impacts at which point the monster attacks during the battle. A higher speed monster will attack before a lower speed monster.
As an early player and collector of all that is Splinterlands, I always look forward to the next series of cards which makes me feel like a kid at Christmas!
Due to my old account @darrenclaxton being hacked a few times last month I had no choice but to create this new account and send all of my beloved cards over.
Unfortunately, the hacker @chbartist had sold alot of my early Alpha cards includin gold foils.
To say I was upse is an understatement, and I spent most of that day pretty upset and angry, mainly at myself for loging into somewhere bogus.
Please be careful where you login with your HIVE credentials and always ensure you are using an OFFICIAL site.
This was an epic card I received a few weeks ago as a reward drop
Please Note:
The number above the speed within the saw-type icon represents the MANTICORE'S melee damage. Range is shown with a red and white target, while magic is shown with a puff of purple.
The next extract is some information I found online which explains the game perfectly.
Play to Earn:
How to Make Money in Splinterlands: plinterlands is a trading card game that runs on the Hive blockchain and interacts with several others, and it fits the Play to Earn philosophy perfectly. Originally called Steem Monsters, this trading card game allows players to battle monsters in exchange for rewards. Players can level up cards by combining two or more of the same card. Dark Energy Crystals (DEC), the in-game token, can be earned by winning battles, selling cards, or other in-game activities.
Ten steps of an average battle
The player hits the “Battle” button on the Battle page, with “Ranked” selected
The game searches for you, and finds an opponent
The player is given all of the information needed about the battle, such as the available mana, which Summoners are allowed, and any special rules. These special rules are introduced at the Bronze II level, while you start at Novice level.
The player continues on to the next page where they have two minutes to build their deck
The first step is to select the Summoner, which dictates the type of cards available in the battle
The player then selects which cards they want to use in the battle. This is the core gameplay element: trying to assemble a winning team within the available mana limit and game rules.
The opponent is doing the same thing during this two-minute time limit
When both players are ready, the battle commences
The player clicks “Rumble” and then watches the automated battle
Results are displayed, DEC and rating points are rewarded to the winner, then the player is taken back to the home screen
It's just an amazing creation and I love it! I'm not a gamer by any stretch of the imagination but I just love the way Splinterlands makes me feel.
It's beautifully aesthetically pleasing, and immersive with incredible attention to detail.
The satisfaction when you drop those packs into the MANA WELL is also incredibly exciting.
If you're a total newbie to the game, I can highly recommend jumping on board and diving head first into this exciting game full of amazing artwork, with an equally really helpful community too.
