A tantalizingly addictive taste to blockchain games based on NFT's that will need to continue expanding gameplay and features to retain the fantastic playerbase it already has

i love collectible card games and loved the experience of trying out a blockchain based card game bu﻿t after my initial addiction, game felt overplayed with limited interest for future additions or new modes of gameplay.
﻿
Still, the scope for completely changing the game via the introduction of new modes, dapps, APIs is always engaging me enough to remain loyal.
﻿
Eagerly await continued growth and the addition of human capital﻿ to Splinterlands so the developers can become really free to explore the capabilities a blockchain based card game canachieve
﻿
Game being open source means that only human capital, technical know how﻿ and your imagination are the limits for the future of Splinterlands, blockchain based games and dapps.
