Gm, and welcome to The WASD Weekly!

Onchain games continued to make waves in 2023’s penultimate week.

Tarochi concluded its Season 0, which saw more than 2500 users play the RPG.

Dark Frontier wrapped its first round, with the top 10 players earning a $7500 prize pool.

We also saw some new releases, as Chain Chess launched on Redstone and Pirate Nation dropped their new “shipwright” update.

All in all, momentum in the space continues to be sustained despite the holiday season ‘round the corner.

This is a stark contrast from the summer when there were very few playable games and 1-2 public playtests per week.

It’s great to see - And should bode very well for 2024.

If the last few months are any indication, next year will be packed full of new releases, launches, and fun experiences for players.

I truly can’t wait for it!

Now, without further ado, here’s:

• A primer on the week’s onchain gaming news

• My picks for three games to play this weekend

• A list of upcoming playtests, opportunities, and events

• A recap of WASD content & mints

And best of all…
