Neon District combines the best of card-based RPGs and online MMOs with asset ownership, unique strategic gameplay, and a verifiable asset history via blockchain technology. The game utilizes the Ethereum non-fungible token standard #721 (ERC-721) to provide individualized, unique cards for each player to collect, trade, play, and evolve.

Neon District is a hybrid role-playing and trading card game set in a futuristic dystopia. In Neon District, each player collects and trades unique cards that evolve and adapt as they’re used in play. Unlike all other trading card games, cards in Neon District become more valuable as they gain experience points, special abilities, physical flaws, and cybernetic enhancements. These cards come alive and create their own stories, forever stored on the Ethereum blockchain.

Introducing The Neon District World

Neon District takes place in a dystopian future where The Mainspring has begun modifying its citizens by offering implantable “upgrades” or enhancements. Though, the subjects are unaware their new devices have both control and surveillance functions that can be turned on or off at will. “Degens”, the last holdouts in the city, are determined to subvert and destroy The Mainspring’s new system. Can this resistance, on the fringe of society, stop them in time?
