Frog Battle AI art by Night Cafe
I've been seeing posts about the Pepe card game for a while. As a fan of trading card games like Splinterlands, I'm happy to see another one in Hive so I have to give it a try.
How to Start
First you need an invite to play. Ask any current players (like me) for an invite and then you can go to their game site. Then buy some VOLTs, the in-game currency. 1 HBD is equal to 1000 VOLTs. Keep in mind that this is a soulbound currency and cannot be traded on hive-engine. VOLTs is needed to buy packs and to do some actions ingame. I bought 2000 VOLTs for 2 HBD.
Next is to buy packs. Each pack cost 500 VOLTS so I bought four packs. Each pack contains three cards with one guaranteed Rare or higher. There's also a 12.5% chance of getting Gold Foils.
For me, one of the best parts of trading card games other than playing is opening packs. I like opening packs in Splinterlands and Rising Star as well. Here are the cards I got, twelve in total. I got some Gold Foils which has higher stats than regular cards. There are three type of cards, melee, ranged and magic.
How to Play
There are two game modes, the Demo and Adventure Game.
Let's start with the Demo Game.
I started with level 1 which can be played for free.... Uh-oh, I think I made a mistake.
Anyway, we need three cards to play. I chose my three best cards in this battle. The game is an auto battler similar to Splinterlands. Once you pick your cards, it will automatically fight the opponent.
I won, now time for level 2! But wait....
I messed up. I need to pay VOLTs to proceed but I spent it all on packs. I may have to sell some cards in the market.
Initial Thoughts
The game shows promise. It has two modes of play that can be enjoyed by players. There are some room for improvements though. It would be better for battles to have more animation. Also the cards are kinda generic with just three frog characters. Different art designs and some lore will definitely make the cards have value as a collectible. There are more elements to the game I haven't tried yet but that's a topic for my next post.
That's it for now. I'll also try the adventure game! Oh, if you want an invite to the game, please comment down below.
Great article on the PEPE Battle Card Game, and cool AI art too!
You have 51 VOLTs now. I gave you 50 more :)
Also you can also play the Adventure Game for free the first time too. After an hour you can play either for free again. Some of the higher Adventure levels have 2 or 3 hours between free games.
Yep, much room for improvement. The graphics in the battle are super simple. The attacking car's background goes white and the card being attacked goes to the color of the type of attack. There are sounds, not sure if you heard them or not.
Generic cards with AI art. We will be looking for art help from the community at some point. And the only lore so far is on the main page where we introduce the characters, and then a sentence or so on each Adventure loop (there are 4 now).
On card order, Melee can only hit from first position. Range can Not hit in first position, Magic can hit from any position. Highest Speed cards go first each round.
Thanks again for this awesome post and enjoy the game!!!
Thank you. I'll learn more about the game and post about it. I also shared my post in other socmed (Publish0x, Blurt, twitter). Hopefully we can invite more players 😀
Look forward to seeing it. Hopefully yes. Have invited as players have few and happy to reward you as we figure best ways to do this. !HOPE !INDEED !PIZZA

@logen9f! @pepetoken Wants to spread Hope! so I just sent 1 HOP to your account on behalf of @pepetoken.
Since we think the world can use more Hope, you can now already start spreading Hope yourself!
Sharing is caring, so they say, so thanks for sharing!!! 😃👍🙏
We're inviting players now with an eye to monitoring the server load. This is a way to open things up in a controlled manor so we can stress test the server and upgrade it when it becomes necessary.
Not sure if I gave you 1 Invite yet, but we recently gave everyone 1 Invite. Anyone who gets to Level 10 and has also sent in 10 HBD for VOLTs gets additional 2 Invites. I know everyone wants more players to play with them, and we do too! But we're expanding at the proper pace so we don't outgrow our infrastructure.
Understood. I haven't used my 1 invite yet.
Great post! Thank you for joining and for your feedback. Many aspects to work on and being worked on. You'll be able to play for free again soon enough and also see Kenny sent you some VOLTs. :) !BBH !DIY !DOOK
You just got DOOKed!
