And as the gaming industry progresses, so does the blockchain micro-cosmos. Pay-to-Play-to-Earn.

You need to stake at least 100.000 tokens to get access to the whitelist, if not, it will be sold out once it's available to the rest and you can buy it for $1000.
Have at least 500 NFTs belonging to this game and you will entered to the airdrop for this new game coming out.
Rewards are only available in Ruby league and to get access to Ruby league you need to have at least 250 unopened packs.

I'm struggling to try new games, as each games requires a significant amount of investment (time, money, learning) and I only have 24 hours a day that require other activities as well.
So for me, Pay-to-Play-to-Earn is becoming less about relaxing, but more like investing. Where do I spend my time and assets for the highest ROI, not for the most fun.

Are there any blockchain games that you recommend that are still just fun?
