We are excited to announce the much-anticipated release of the Bones and Blade limited beta.

Bones and Blade is inspired by such card games, as Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra card games and added our own unique twist.

After an overwhelming response to the Bones and Blade beta testing registration, we picked a beta testing team of around 70 community members to help us test BnB’s first beta release. Our beta testing group helped pinpoint bugs as well as point out some missing features and ideas for improving the gamer experience. The latest build has addressed these issues.

We are now moving into the limited beta testing phase, this will be the final testing phase — with the purpose of addressing any more potential bugs before we release the public open beta. On June 15th, we took a snapshot of all users with RPG stake tethered NFTs in their wallet, anyone holding a character NFT as of this date is whitelisted in the limited beta testing group.

After 1 continuous week without any bugs we will launch the public beta, then after 2 continuous weeks bug free in the public beta, we will allow you to connect and play with your NFT characters. At this point the experience and boosters system will be turned on, so you will be able to start grinding it out for increased APY!

How to Play Bones and Blade

A slugfest between foes in a one-on-one, Rock, Paper, Scissors, card, and dice game. Your goal will be to outwit your opponent into playing the wrong cards and actions and attack at the right moment.

The Bones and Blade card game will have 2 players and both players will draw 5 cards from their deck each round.

For our open beta, at the start of a Bones and Blade game, each player will receive the same randomly generated 20-card deck. This will change when we construction of the inventory and skill system is complete.

Once the deck is generated the players will be given 30 seconds to review the deck.

When both players hit to start the coin will flip and define the Leading Player.

The leading player is the person who goes first; All their attack and card effect are played first. The leading player alternates per turn.

Each card has its own value and effect. The value displayed is separated into Paper / Scissors / Rock and the effect is written in the box below. The numbers represent how much damage the card will do if you win with that action.

For example, If I play paper and the opponent players rock. I will win the offense dealing 5 base damage, as 5 is the damage shown in the Paper element of the card.

The winner of the Paper Scissors Rock will deal a total damage of both the cards value and dice combined to the opponent.

Card effects allow you to gain advantages in Bones and Blade. With the card above you will be able to heal for 1 when the card is played. This effect will play even if you don’t win the action of Paper Scissors Rock.

Players will play back and forth attempting to outwit their opponent until the 5th turn or a players health reaches 0.

Games best of 3, even if you lose one round you can still win the other two.

We’re planning to have a new method to handle dice rolls. After Bones and Blade public beta we plan on adding our inventory systems, which will also be a deck construction system. We’ll also add the ability to acquire new cards. There will be a constant feedback fix loop. We’ll also be working on Mac OS version and IOS applications of Bones and Blade card game.
