Paul Bettner, the creator of Words With Friends and Age of Empires, is finally releasing <a href="https://tingbits.com/game/wildcard-alliance">Wildcard</a>, the much-awaited Web3 game, after a five-year development period. Wildcard is a multiplayer online battle arena game with aspects of real-time strategy, virtual NFT cards, and Web3 integration via the Ethereum scaling network Polygon.

"Melee on the Meteor," the game's first public playtest, will take place on Thursday, February 23 at 10A PST/12P CST/1P EST in the virtual venue, <a href="https://www.wildcardgame.com/ex1">Frostburn Arena</a>, where fans could watch two characters compete while earning NFT rewards. The game was created with spectators in mind, and it tries to strengthen the link between players and viewers by rewarding the audience with NFT airdrops solely for tuning in to a player's stream or interacting with their content.

To develop the game, <a href="https://venturebeat.com/games/playful-studios-unveils-web3-game-and-raises-46m-for-the-wildcard-alliance">Bettner raised $46 million</a> in a fundraising round led by Paradigm and including Griffin Gaming Partners and VC fund manager Sabrina Hahn in 2022. NFTs will be a key part of the game, but Bettner has stated that it will not be pay-to-win. There is no single card that can assure victory in a match.

Esports is huge in gaming, and the designers of Wildcard believe that people enjoy watching others play video games almost as much as they enjoy playing themselves. They hope to create a game in which fans may interact in a more meaningful and engaging way with Wildcard.

The "Melee on the Meteor" event will feature a series of matches between community members and professional streamers. Wildcard MINT allowlist opportunities will be available for real-time giveaways and air-dropped rewards. The event allows people to compete and win, and onlookers and potential players are in for a surprise.
