Gods Unchained is a free-to-play tactical card game that gives players true ownership of their in-game items. Led by the former game director of Magic The Gathering: Arena, the game focuses on competitive play, which means players must strategically outsmart their opponents by building decks that are able to combat a wide variety of tactics. In Gods Unchained players completely own their digital items, giving them the freedom to trade, sell and use their cards any way they like – just like owning real, tangible cards.
GODS is an ERC-20 token used as premium currency within the GU ecosystem. The tokens will be used to:
* Create an NFT.
* Used within the marketplace and for in-game purchases.
* Distributed as a reward to players.
