News in Splinterlands - Updates and Events

Splinterlands, the renowned blockchain-based digital card game, kicks off the year with updates and upcoming events for its community. This month, players can enjoy gameplay improvements, new community challenges, and an interactive space to learn about the game’s future.

Game Update

The first update of the year brought some improvements and fixes to the game. Here are the most relevant:

Custom Challenges:

• Players can now configure up to six different rules in challenges (Cards, Mana, Difficulty, etc.).
• Cost: 10 Dark Energy Crystals (DEC) or credits except for players with a Runi or over 50,000 SPS in staking.
• Use the new button on profiles to directly challenge other players.
  

Gameplay Improvements:

• The effects of Burn, Fatigue, and Poison now simultaneously affect all monsters.
• New options allow players to fast-forward between rounds during battle replays, as well as improved playback controls.
• The play/pause option for battles can now be triggered using the spacebar, with adjustments made to avoid conflicts with browser extensions.
  

General Adjustments:

• New tournament and challenge levels: Novice, Adept, Intermediate, Advanced, and Expert.
• Improved navigation tools and new buttons to facilitate resource acquisition.

2. Create Useful Content: Write a detailed tutorial or share practical tips that can benefit the community.
3. Submit Your Post: Publish your content on Hive using the tags #splinterlands and #play2earn.

Town Hall: A Space for the Community

The Town Hall is a monthly event where the Splinterlands team shares updates, answers questions, and celebrates community milestones.

You can attend the event by joining the Discord (“Main Stage” channel), or watch it live on their YouTube or Twitch channels.

Questions can be submitted in advance via the #town-hall Discord channel or asked live during the event.
Questions will be answered at the end of the event.

The next Town Hall is estimated to take place on January 16 in the afternoon. This date may vary, so stay tuned for updates on their social media and Discord.
