Goons of Balatroon Trading Card Game

It is a Free-To-Play card battle game with no requirements whatsoever. There are three different game modes in which players can participate:

• Constructed: players are allowed to bring a pre-built 30-card deck of cards for battle. They are given a 30-card deck at random, but they can regenerate, modify, and add their own cards to it before the battle
• Random: players are given a random deck of cards from the active card pool. This mode is targeted at beginners who want to get familiar with the game
• Challenge a friend: this is the most casual game mode, in which players invite their friends to play

Goons of Balatroon incorporates 3 Functional NFT types that help players evolve and grow within the game:

Goon Characters: The primary digital asset of this fantasy universe, Goon Characters are used to join battles and guarantee higher-level rewards. The ownership of these NFTs unlocks full economic access to the game, meaning they give access to the next NFT, the Goon Bods.

Goon Bods: Goon Bods are visual additions to Goon Characters. With Goon Bods NFTs, players can customize and enhance their Character bodies with unique animations such as dancing or moving, which are shown when the battle finishes and the winner celebrates.

Goon Cards: These NFTs are used by players to compete, and there is the chance to acquire different cards with higher levels in order to enhance battle strategies. NFT Goon Cards can be purchased, sold, and traded on the ImmutableX and TokenTrove marketplaces. Players can also buy a pack of cards from the official store to get five random cards. NFT cards come in different levels of rarity, types, and elements. Each one of them has its own strengths and weaknesses against other cards that can affect the battle, so strategy is key to winning the battle. There is also a free base card pool that allows users to play and understand how the game works with no need for investment.

Players must choose between the Bulas or Bairs factions, totaling 9,696 characters, with more to be released in the future. New NFT characters can be found in the Goon Store and on the secondary market.

There are also Crafting Stations, so players can improve their decks and discard undesirable cards by paying a fee and exchanging them for rare cards. Users can even mint a Goon Bod to upgrade and customize their avatars.
