Game designer Richard Garfield, in collaboration with Tyranno Studios, is launching a new card game called Blockchain Brawlers. As you play, he builds awesome fighters to fight against others. the turning point? You have access to all cards right from the start.

Richard Garfield needs a little introduction. He is responsible for many popular board and card games including RoboRally, Netrunner and King of Tokyo. Oh, and Magic: the Gathering. Most people have heard of it.

“What convinced me to provide a game was Tyranno’s willingness to make a project that is by no means a trading card game, in which all players have the same cards and game material. The art may vary, of course, but the game is consistent from player to player, “Garfield explained in a press release.” This is important to me because so much of blockchain gaming is tied to making the game itself an object of speculation. , and this goes against the interest of people who really want to see the games played. “

Tyranno Studios has an ecosystem target of 80% gamers, 20% studios. Players can purchase these pieces of land, called Brawl-O-Seums, which allow owners to create different moves and resources. New incoming players will need these resources to battle in PvP mode, thus creating a market for player-created content.

“The game I created for them is a simple game with some deep plays and bluffs that I hope will resonate in the wrestling world,” Garfield concluded.

Blockchain Brawlers operates on the WAX ​​(World Asset eXchange) blockchain.

“The direction of this game is in line with other great esports gaming experiences,” said Michael Rubinelli, chief gaming officer at Tyranno Studios. “We have a matchmaking ranking (MMR) system in place and league matches will start soon where we will host global competitions with incredible prices. We expect these events to be live streamed and sponsored in the future, full of shoutcasters. Blockchain Brawlers are as much fun to watch as they are to play and we can’t wait to bring this incredible gaming experience to the masses. “
