reviewing PEGAXY white paper, a new NFT game based on horse racing

Some of my friends from the old Axie scholarship group have been telling me about the game Pegaxy.

Horse Racing NFT Game With Dual Token Economy

It's a horse racing NFT game that uses Axie Infinity's dual token economic model and a similar breeding system.

Pegaxy plans to build a racing game where manually controlled horses race against each other and player skill plays as large a role as Pega stats or money spent. This sounds good in theory, but it'll take a while to see if it is really possible.

Right now the entire game plays out entirely based on RNG. It is an auto-racer.

There is something weird about this big project with a large token economy having no actual gameplay yet. It's not even an autobattler or a team-builder. You just pick one Pega and send it to race.

Within Months

I'm curious to see if the team is able to deliver on the promise of manual racing gameplay "within months" of gameplay launch. If manual racing comes in early 2022, then I'm super interested. If it is going to take years to get manual racing, I expect that the market might lose interest and money will leave the project to find a more exciting home. Really hoping manual gameplay is soon!

I'll try to do a Pega rental sometime soon. It would be great to get hands-on experience with the UI of the game and to share some video of the races themselves.

For today, we'll start out with a review of the project's white paper. Reading this thing gives us a lot of perspective on the game in a short amount of time.
