Celebrating Five Years of Spells of Genesis: A Dive into Blockchain Gaming History

SoG: The Pioneer of Play-to-Earn

Thursday marks a milestone that’s as significant in the gaming world as your mom finding out what LOL really means. Yes, it’s been five years since Spells of Genesis (SoG) hit the scene and took the world of blockchain gaming by storm. Some refer to it as the grandparent of play-to-earn (P2E) games, while others just hope it remembers their names.

From Trading Cards to NFT Museum

EverdreamSoft, the creative masterminds behind SoG, originally introduced trading card-based NFTs back in the Stone Age of 2015, or, you know, just a few years ago. While the official mobile trading card game flopped its way into existence in 2017, the real magic is happening now with the upcoming opening of an NFT History Museum inside CryptoVoxels on April 20. Talk about moving from your living room to an online art gallery!

What’s Inside the Museum?

The museum will showcase both classic and fresh SoG cards and put the spotlight on other noteworthy NFT collections. Expect to see everything from vintage cards to modern artistic expressions that are likely to invoke at least a nostalgic tear or two.

Gameplay: A Blend of Strategy and Fun

Players of SoG must collect cards and strategically combine them to build the ultimate deck that not only obliterates enemies but also fills their virtual pockets with cryptocurrency. If only my investment portfolio could be as exciting! Each month, an old-school card will get its moment in the spotlight atop the museum’s rooftop, like a five-star chef showcasing the dish of the day.

Learning from History

When users click on the card of the month, they’ll be whisked away into the Spells of Genesis Showroom. It’s like a vintage amusement park ride, but for blockchain gaming—here they can indulge in the rich history of NFT gaming and emerge a little bit wiser (and possibly a little bit hungrier for digital assets).

Iconic Assets on Display

In the words of Shaban Shaame, CEO of EverdreamSoft: “This NFT History Museum showcases some of the most important art projects in our industry.” Expect treasures like the Bitcoin Genesis Block, the famed Nakamoto Card from the RAREPEPE Series 1, and collectibles from another early gem, Etheria. Don’t miss out on iconic pieces from Cryptopunks, Mooncats, and the lively world of Axie Infinity.

Unlocking Exclusive Rewards

Visitors will not just be passive spectators! A special discount will be up for grabs on the card of the month, and one lucky guest who scribbles their name in the NFT Museum’s guestbook could walk away with a coveted Spells of Genesis card from 2017. Others may gain exclusive access to top-notch SoG experiences and events throughout the rest of 2022. If that’s not a reason to sign your name, I don’t know what is!

Conclusion

In a recent chat with Cointelegraph, Shaame emphasized the revival of SoG, previously minted only on the Bitcoin blockchain, which finally made its way to the Ethereum blockchain in 2020, sparking renewed interest and sales. It seems that a museum of digital assets may very well be the perfect venue to celebrate its legacy.
