X World Games: DreamCard takes you to experience Pokémon on BSC

In 2018, Crypto Kitties on Ethereum suddenly became popular, allowing users to collect, hatch, and purchase unique virtual cats. The high frequency of transactions even caused congestion on Ethereum. In the traditional world, Nintendo had already released trading cards featuring well-known Pokémon characters like Pikachu, Charmander, and Squirtle in 1996, attracting collectors.

Besides Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! is a cherished childhood memory for many players, and the classic TCG card game Magic: The Gathering has gained worldwide popularity, boasting a large number of loyal players in China. Blizzard's Hearthstone has further elevated the card game genre to new heights.

Currently, the most suitable genres for integration with blockchain games are TCGs and sandbox games. However, many modes in sandbox games are still being explored and are often limited by public chain performance, making it difficult to produce mature products directly. The model of combining TCG games with blockchain, treating game cards as assets, is more easily accepted by players while maintaining gameplay. Additionally, the trading experience during card games aligns well with the preferences of blockchain players who enjoy trading.

Therefore, X World Game, as the first decentralized gaming hub in Asia, has launched its first game, DreamCard, a TCG model inspired by Pokémon TCG, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Pokémon. Now you can experience familiar gaming memories on BSC.

Here is a detailed introduction to the DreamCard game:

Mystery Box

The Mystery Box, also known as a "blind box," is similar to "card drawing" and was once all the rage in traditional mobile games. In 2016, the game Onmyoji created unprecedented discussions using the "blind box mechanism," with the question "Did you draw SSR today?" dominating trending topics and becoming a hot topic among players.

In the blockchain realm, each blind box card is clearly and transparently recorded on the chain. Players know the probability of drawing each card, and when opening a blind box, they can also feel the mystery brought by the unknown and the excitement of drawing rare cards.

DreamCard - Card Types

In the first game released by X World Games, DreamCard, there are initially 40 basic character cards inspired by Pokémon. These cards are issued as NFTs on the blockchain, allowing for free trading and circulation on-chain, and they will never disappear. When players have enough basic cards and items, they can create cards with their own images and names.

New Character Creation

After collecting enough cards and items from the mystery box and NFT trading market, players can become game creators and establish new characters. These new characters come with random levels, power, attack, health points, etc. It is important to note that these new characters are designed using different components collected in the early stages, such as helmets, arms, torsos, and legs.

Game Asset Ownership

In traditional games, all in-game assets belong to the game development company, and players do not truly own the game assets themselves. In DreamCard, each card exists as an NFT in the player's wallet address, allowing players to freely trade their cards in the market.

In traditional games, all in-game assets belong to the game developers and are primarily used within a single game.

NFTs from card games can be transferred or merged between different games. Based on the same NFT protocol, players can allow their favorite characters to enter multiple games they enjoy, creating a cross-game character. This is why DreamCard is the first TCG game with character attributes, as it showcases an excellent use case for NFTs.

NFT assets from card games can be transferred or merged between different games. Based on the replicability and transferability of NFTs, players can have their favorite characters appear repeatedly in other games they enjoy.

The X World Games platform also allows for the collateralization, buyback, and destruction of NFT cards. Meanwhile, collectors and creators can buy and sell their cards in the market. The X World Games team will charge a 5% transaction fee from sellers as part of the game ecosystem's construction.

In addition to card ownership, traditional blockchain sandbox games typically store game data on Amazon AWS. In contrast, DreamCard stores players' cards using IPFS, avoiding the risk of losing game assets due to cloud server outages.

Competitive Matches

Beyond collecting and creating new characters, the biggest highlight of DreamCard is the intense and exciting competitive mode, where players can battle against each other. Competition is the best way to test card combinations, and through rounds of competitive matches, players can win more XWG game tokens.

The gameplay mechanics of DreamCard are excellent, with no all-purpose card combinations, ensuring that the vast majority of cards have their uses. Players need to frequently trade with others to obtain the cards they need, greatly increasing the liquidity of the trading market. Quick decision-making and operations in a short time allow players to experience the thrill and joy of strategizing in the blockchain gaming world.

Genesis Sale - NFT + IDO

On the eve of the launch of DreamCard, the X World Games team conducted a 4-day genesis presale event.

This limited release introduced a total of 2,740 DreamCards, which come in four levels: Rare (2 characters, 1,600 cards), Epic (2 characters, 800 cards), Legendary (2 characters, 300 cards), and Mythical (2 characters, 40 cards). The characters include Ivy, Emani, Alaia, Amaura, Gaia, Arya, Quinn, and Kagura. Cards of different rarities can be distinguished by the color of their sleeves, with rare cards being green, epic cards blue, legendary cards purple, and mythical cards orange. Their sale prices range from 0.18 BNB to 1.79 BNB.

According to the official Medium, this presale offers significant discounts, indicating that after the game officially launches, card prices should be much higher than the current presale prices. For example, in the mythical card, you can see the level box in the upper left corner and the ATK (attack) and HP (health) in the lower left corner. After the game officially launches, most cards will be common cards with white sleeves.

Card owners can not only trade but also participate in card staking activities within the game to earn X World Games' XWG tokens. Depending on the card's level, players can earn a corresponding number of XWG tokens by staking for 30, 60, or 90 days. Please refer to the image below for specific token earning amounts:

Decentralized Autonomous Community - Returning Power to Players

In the world of X World Games, creators can create new characters, and anyone can collect, create, and battle for entertainment. Community players can discuss game strategies and socialize in forums, forming tighter organizations.

In addition to discussing games in forums, every XWG token holder can become a member of the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), possessing voting rights and participating in game decisions. Token holders and creators with different amounts of tokens have varying weights in voting, allowing them to vote on the destruction of certain cards. While cards in Hearthstone can be infinitely produced, in DreamCard, players have the right to propose changes to the game's mechanics and design.

More User-Friendly Login Methods

Currently, most blockchain games require a specific wallet to log in. For players unfamiliar with this process, it incurs a high market education cost. The X World Games team, with a background in traditional mobile games, believes that the user entry barrier should be lowered. Therefore, they have opened numerous social platform login interfaces, allowing players to easily enter the game through Google, Facebook, Twitter, WeChat, and more, starting their blockchain gaming journey effortlessly.

XWG Token Model

XWG is the token name for X World Games, issued on the Binance Smart Chain. Within this game ecosystem, users can earn XWG tokens by staking cards or trading on decentralized exchanges.

XW holders can propose initiatives in the DAO and suggest card destruction. To encourage users to actively participate in the voting process, the team will reward voters.

Funding Situation and Development Roadmap

At the end of April, X World Games announced the completion of a $1.2 million strategic round of financing, with participating institutions including NGC, FBG Capital, Longling Capital, SNZ, Moonwhale Ventures, BTX Capital, Kirin Capital, Chain Capital, Crypto Differ, Lanlaxy Group, PreAngel Fund, and CatcherVC.

In addition to a luxurious investment lineup, the X World Games team has mature experience in the gaming industry.

According to the team's development roadmap, the project will begin with blockchain games and gradually extend its business to online comics, literature, and advertising. Subsequently, the business model of the XWG ecosystem will gradually expand to content creation, crowdfunding, and collaborations with well-known game manufacturers.
