In the last few years, game lovers have been given more options, especially with the rise of non-fungible tokens.
As the NFT space continues to grow around the world, gaming is clearly not being left behind. The last few months have seen more NFT-based games being released into the market and further exploring what can be done with NFTs.
Now, DarleyGo, a GameFi NFT-focused horse racing game, recently had its NFT sale on Magic Eden on January 23. During the sale, 3,800 Genesis cards were sold in less than 30 seconds. They will be used to get DarleyGo’s Genesis horses to participate in the game.
DarleyGo Bringing Horseracing to the Blockchain
The game is designed to be the very first mythical-based non-fungible token game that’s built on the Solana blockchain. The reasons for this are numerous, but quicker transaction speeds and lower fees make up part of them.
Users are able to buy, race, collect, and breed their non-fungible token horses and create various strategies for them. DarleyGo aims to combine the excitement of horseracing with a mythical game lore that is ultimately aimed at turning the game into an engaging and a fast-paced adventure.
Essentially, players will be racing against other active players in both regular and special racing events to garner glory and honor while also earning game tokens, of course. They can race up to 12 other players in every single competition. There’s also a training mode, which is the game’s player versus environment (PvE) mode, where users can discover the ability of their horses. They can finish specific training courses to unlock special ability badges and also earn tokens in return.
Off to the Races
On January 23, 2022, the sale of the Genesis cards was held on Magic Eden at 12:00 PM UTC. These Genesis cards can be used to redeem for one DarleyGo’s Genesis horses and essentially act as a gateway to the game.
Genesis Card is a premium Card for early DarleyGoers, where holders will be able to redeem 1 Genesis NFT horse per card (Blind Box Style) before the game launch and enjoy many exclusive perks as its early members.
Horseracing With NFTs
The entire concept of the game is horseracing, which has been a popular sport for centuries. The team behind the game was inspired by their real-life experience with horse racing and sought to bring the experience to fans as well.
With this sale, users are able to invest long-term in the game not just by playing it with their current horses but having the chance to get rarer horses over time.
More announcements will be made by the company before and after the NFT sale.
