You don't believe it's possible. Know then:

How much time in our day-to-day do we spend in games, whether for distraction, hobby, challenges and etc?
For years we play just because we love games and all the entertainment they bring us and we have to divide our time between responsibilities and leisure time. Remember the time we spent hours on end with friends playing table rpg game? Competing only for the prize of who was more skillful, strategist or even the most clumsy...hahahah. Good times, aren't they?
Today I would like to tell you that we can relive these moments that accompanied all our childhood and adolescence, more now with the advancement of technology, in addition to remembering that we can make money by doing what we love to do: play! Do not believe? Well, just over 5 years ago it wasn't possible to post on a social network and earn something from it right? today we have steemit. He understood! hahaha

Splinterlands is a digital, collectible card game built on blockchian technology. It is similar in concept to games like Magic the Gathering and Hearthstone where you build up a collection of cards, which all have various different stats and abilities, and use them to battle other players in skill-based matches. By using blockchain technology, players can buy, sell and trade their digital assets freely just as if they wew physical cards, and all transactions are recorded publicly and immutably.

Splinterlands runs on the Hive blockchain, which is a public, distributed, and decentralized blockchain platform with a significant user and a diverse set of applications that run on it. The Hive blockchain offers many unique features that make it one of the best currently available options for running a user-friendly blockchain-based game or application, such as fast and free transactions, human-readable wallet addresses, and account recovery options.

All players have access to use a base set of cards to play the game. Additional cards may be obtained by purchasing booster packs, purchasing specific cards from other players on the market, or earning them through daily quests and seasson rewards. Purchasing booster packs and earning cards through battle requires the purchase of the Summoner´s Spellbook. Once you have purchase the Summoner´s Spellbook, you may then purchase Booster Pack for $2 each. Each Booster Pack contains five (5) randomly selected cards from the latest edition with at least one card guaranteed to be Rare or better. The more Booster Packs you purchase, the better chance you have of finding powerful Epic and Legendary Cards!

In addition to the Booster Packs you may purchase individual cards directely from other player who listed them for sale on the marketplace

Unlike Magic the Gathering or Herthstone, Splinterlands cards can "level up" and gain increased stats and new habilitites. Cards can be leveled up by combining multiple cards of the same type. For example, if you have three of the Kobold Miner cards, you can click on the card on your Collection screen to bring up the card detalis popup, and then click th "combine(all)" button to combine them, which will result int the three leel 1 cards being combined into one card at level 2.

In the list of cards shown on the card details popup, it shows how close each cards is to next level, and how additional cards are needed to combine together to reach the next level. Additionally, if you click on the "Stats" tab on the same popup, you can see what additional stat increases and abilities the card will receive at each level.

Each time you win a game in Ranked play mode, your rating points will increase in proportion to the rating of your opponent. As your rating increases you will enter into higher leagues which unlock higher level cards and larger rewards. Additionally, if you win three or more game in a row, you receive a 2x bonus to you rating increase for being on a win streak.

You can receive rewards for completing daily quests, and for achieving higher leagues each season. The higher you rating, the more loot chests you will receive for daily quests and at the end of each season. Loot chestes may contain various items including DEC potions, and special cards from the Rewards edition. These cards can only be obtained through in-game rewards, or via purchase on the market from other players who have obtained them throught the in-game rewards.

Splinterlands is free to play, however in order to earn real-valued rewards and unlock the full potencial of blockchain-based gaming, players are required to obtain the Summoner´s Spellbook allows you to choose a unique account name, access your blockchain account keys, unlock the ability to earn rewards with real value, and more!
The fact that traditional free-to-play games gives out in-game currencies and items to anyone who signs up for free highlights the fact that the items are infinitely printavle and mostly worthless. Splinterlands is different. All of teh game cards and the in-game currency, Dark Energy Crystals (DEC ) are limited in quantity and able to be bought and sold on various platforms. This means that it´s not possible for them to be handed out to aryone who signs up an email addres, and in order to start earning them players need to put a little bit of skin in the game.
