What if we combined NFTs + Magic the Gathering + Final Fantasy into GameFi?
Wouldn't that PRINT 💰💰💰?
It EXISTS - it's called @crosstheages
And @wonderland_fi just invested $400k!
Great job @danielesesta & @0xSifu!
I spent 6hrs researching - here are my highlights!

🧵👇
/1 What kind of a game will it be?
It'll be an NFT trading card game.
Magic the Gathering and Hearthstone are popular examples of Card Games
Now imagine all the cards as NFT's!
The closest example right now is GODS UNCHAINED.
It's a success - $110m market cap

/2 What's the game about?
There are two civilizations on Artellium.
Arkhanis: Fantasy, magic
Orbitalia: Futuristic, technology-focused.
They're going to war for resources.
The setting reminds me of Star Wars, Dune, and Final Fantasy.

/8 How much does it cost to play?
Some people have been priced out of playing Axies
Cross the Ages is FREE!
“Today, many games are called pay to earn. But the access is very expensive.
We don’t want to be a game where you have to spend $1500USD just to start to play." - CEO

/10 They're focused on LOW barrier to entry $

/11 What about the Gas fees?
They are launching it on @0xPolygon. A low-cost scaling solution for ETH.
So....Sunflower Game crashed the network.

Hopefully, Polygon fixes these issues before CTA launches

/12 What Makes Cross the Ages Unique?
Making the game FUN is the top priority.
So much emphasis is being placed on fun, gameplay, art, and storytelling before NFT's.
Fun + Low costs could make this the first MAINSTREAM GameFi game?

/13 Mainstream
"This is a play-to-earn metaverse project that has a large list of long-term goals to reach, with the likes of movies, books, TV shows, and game expansions to come further down the line."

"We like to call our approach the “10-Year Process” because this isn’t something that’s trying to capitalize on the metaverse hype.
The game is based on seven novels in total which will all be completed progressively over the next seven years."

/14 How does the Tokenomics work?
Here's what we know:
Crystal - centralized in-game token
CTA - deflationary utility token
NFTs - digital collectibles
NFCs - physical collectibles
The Cards will have different RARITY types.
They are taking the tokenomics design seriously.

/14 Physical Cards + NFT's?
YES!
Each physical card they print contains an NFC Chip.
This chip connects to their blockchain.
Imagine being able to HOLD your NFT in your hands.

/18 My Thoughts
I'm fucking pumped - no 🧢.
I've been dying for a "Magic the Gathering" type of game to come to GameFi.
Plus I love the final fantasy setting!
I would play this game even if it wasn't related to Crypto.
Are you Team Magic or Team Technology?
