I've been a Splinterlands man for the longest time and nothing is going to change. However, in recent times, I've been craving a new adventure and it has had me researching other games.

Yesterday, I finally tried Gods Unchained and I loved it. It was an awesome experience for me and now I've officially decided to play it regularly.

Unlike Splinterlands, GU is a lot more intense and will require my undivided attention to get ahead.

What this means is that I might have to take yet another break from playing Splinterlands. This time, I'll lease out everything in the rentals market.

I'm not going to put any pressure on myself to earn from GU. The first month or two of my experience will just be participating in ranked battles and learning on the fly.

It feels right.

I played and lost two battles in GU yesterday. After that, it was a bit too late, so I decided to go to bed.

I woke up early this morning and all I could think about was what I could have done differently. The annoying thing is that I can't for the life of me figure it out and it's infuriating.

I've decided to put in work in the game and understand how all the moving pieces work. I know enough about Card battle games to know that there's no one way wins it all technique for the game, so I have to experiment.

So when I do get back in the game, I'll be trying out different techniques until I'm able to win.

What about money though?

As I said earlier, I won't be putting any pressure on myself to get money from the game. Just like Splinterlands, I'll let things progress organically.

I will explore the marketplace though, and then ask questions from different people about ways that I could improve my deck.

I don't know stuff about leveling up Gods or the other cards, special abilities and all that stuff. Right now, all I know is that the War Starter looks cool af, so I'll be using him.

Anyway, the only downside of the game is that it's on Ethereum Blockchain. However, so far so good, I've not had to contend with gas fee at any point.

I linked my wallet address easily and at some point, I'll have to put some Ethereum inside. The game obviously doesn't stress players to spend money but I'm trying to get ahead, so maybe legendary packs might help me achieve that.

I won't splurge on legendary packs though, because I'm poor. My plan is to let the game pay for the legendary packs.

After I've completely understood the basics and mechanism of gameplay to the point that I can decipher which cards will improve my deck, I'll put in money.

The money I put in will be used to buy rare and epic packs. Those packs will then give me some cards that will hopefully be good enough to enable me to stack tokens until I can afford a legendary pack.

I'll rinse and repeat the above strategy to buy the more advanced packs. It's still a bit raw but as I progress in the game, my strategies will be getting refined.

The next step

The next step for me is to just continue playing GU and adapting to it. Figure out what works and what doesn't work.

Understand how to pick my starting deck and what the game is telling me to do at the beginning when it asks me to "replace" cards in my deck.

I will make videos to document my experience and will crave the indulgence of the community for advice. Tell me what I'm doing wrong and tell me what I'm doing right.

I know I've taken a while but I'm finally here. After my first experience of the game, I realized that perhaps I should have been here all along but no time to whine about spilled milk, it's time for me to grow.
