Alright so every post about Azuki TCG is the same thing. - NFT PFP - Cryptobro "Keep pushing" affirmations - Hyperbolic projections about game's future - Red Gate emoji in post and display name, indicating commitment to the game's cult of followers Then I see this pictured interaction and it all makes sense. I got to try Azuki at GAMA, but I just chose to pull it from tomorrow's video (and reshoot the whole thing). Gameplay wise, it was fine - Tim, who showed it to me, was a very nice guy and I have no ill will towards him. The game played nearly identically to Bandai games - which I told him, and which puts it neatly in middle of the road for me for enjoyment. Not amazing, not bad. And that's what I said about it in my first version of the video. But I can't post that now that I see the goals laid bare. The end result of a TCG should be a fun game played between humans at a table - a social interaction, a strategic contest, and a fist bump at the end. The publisher works to make the game conducive to this on a reasonable scale, we pay them for access to more exciting components to enrich our hobby, and the game continues. Instead, I'm seeing that beautiful social experience being used to smuggle in an IP whose purpose is selling tokens on a blockchain. You can certainly enjoy all of the same elements listed above with Azuki, but in doing so and supporting the game, you're supporting a goal of getting their Web3 side exposure and widespread support. A pawn in a larger scheme. That beautiful experience can be had with any other game on the market that ISN'T trying to eventually normalize selling you a listing on a ledger that indicates you are the one true owner of a jpg. And now that I know better, I would recommend you seek ANY of those alternatives.
