Review on Prospectors by Fanuel PORPORTY
Prospectors: Build a Fantasy Gold Mine, Convert to Real Crypto
Prospectors is a strategy game that allows players to play the role of a gold mining entrepreneur. It presents freely tradable resources and plots of land whose deposits are recorded on the blockchain. The player sends his worker to perform tasks; orders the construction of a building, the construction of mine, the manufacture of tools. The player then leaves the game and does something else with his time. Upon his return, the building is constructed, gold is mined or tools are available.
But issuing orders is easy. The hard part is to be profitable. In Prospectors, it is important to be profitable - because unlike most inactive games, players can earn real cryptocurrency to play the game. Players can also spend crypto on the game. So use a losing strategy can cost more than wasted time.
Pros
- The object of the Prospectors game is to win gold. The more gold a player wins, the more he can be judged to have “won” during the game. Gold can be converted into a cryptographic token called Prospectors Gold (PGL). There is both a WAX and EOS version of this token. There is also an older version of Ethereum that has been used for fundraising in the past.
- There is a great tutorial offered by the aptly named Helpie once you get into the game. Helpie's job is to guide new players through the initial steps and setup. You can find a full article by the Prospectors team that describes some tips and tricks to get started.
Cons
- Prospectors also limited mining on open land. Now it is structured in the same way as mining on leased properties. This means that only one worker can mine gold at a time, and a maximum of 3 workers can mine other resources. If mine has no vacancies, you will have to wait your turn.
