A Revolutionary Blockchain Trading Card Game
Eclipse Protocol is a revolutionary blockchain-based trading card game (TCG) set in a dystopian near-future where global conflicts, shadowy elites, and hidden truths shape a fractured world on the brink of World War III. Built on the Ethereum blockchain with Layer-2 scaling via Immutable X, Eclipse Protocol combines strategic card-based gameplay, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and a decentralized economy to empower players with true ownership of their digital assets.
Inspired by the scale of Illuvium and the provocative storytelling of Joe Rogan's discussions, the game weaves real-world-inspired themes—mass manipulation, geopolitical intrigue, and elite conspiracies—into a fictional narrative that challenges players to uncover hidden truths through gameplay.
To create an immersive, player-driven metaverse where every card, strategy, and decision carries real-world value, both financially and narratively. Players collect, trade, and battle with NFT-based game cards representing factions, technologies, and ideologies, all while navigating a world where truth is the ultimate currency.
Eclipse Protocol is a strategic TCG where players build decks from a collection of NFT-based cards representing factions, events, and tactics in a fictional WW3 scenario. The game blends the addictive mechanics of other card games with a dark, conspiracy-laden narrative. Cards like "Mass Manipulation," "Shadow Cabal," or "Global Surveillance Network" embody themes of control, deception, and resistance, resonating with players who enjoy edgy, thought-provoking content.
The year is 2035, and the world is fractured by escalating tensions. Nations are puppets of unseen elites, corporations wield unchecked power, and information warfare shapes public perception. Players take on the role of "Truthseekers," rogue operatives uncovering the machinations of global powers. The narrative avoids direct real-world references but uses archetypes like "The Syndicate" or "The Resistance" to explore themes of power and manipulation in a fictional context.
Players construct decks from a pool of NFT cards, each with unique attributes, abilities, and rarities.
Engage in 1v1 or multiplayer battles using strategic card play. Matches simulate ideological and tactical conflicts.
A single-player campaign where players uncover the game's narrative through missions, earning cards and tokens.
Players can buy, sell, or trade cards on the EclipseDEX, a decentralized marketplace managed by the Eclipse Protocol DAO.

By using NFTs and a native cryptocurrency, players have full control over their cards and earnings, unlike traditional games where assets are locked within centralized platforms.
