Mythical Games has introduced Football Rivals, a new free-to-play blockchain game available on Telegram. This innovative release leverages NFTs from the popular sports title NFL Rivals, offering players an engaging way to participate in weekly challenges and earn rewards in $MYTH tokens.
Football Rivals delivers stats-based, turn-based gameplay designed to attract both gaming enthusiasts and sports fans. Players can form all-star teams by selecting officially licensed cards and participate in events that test attributes like strength, endurance, and power. Each round focuses on specific stats, and players must quickly pick cards with superior values to win.
Speed and strategy play a crucial role, as faster decisions earn time bonuses, while each card can only be used once per event. At the end of the event, players can view their scores and rankings on the weekly leaderboard. The ultimate goal is to climb the leaderboard by participating in multiple events and scoring points.
The game supports both NFL Rivals players and new users on Telegram. Existing NFL Rivals players, who already own cards, can link their Mythical accounts to use their assets in Football Rivals. For newcomers, the game is accessible directly through Telegram, requiring no prior blockchain experience.
This new title is powered by the Mythos blockchain and developed by Koni Stack using its mini-app SDK. The collaboration also involves Polkadot, the gaming-focused Mythos network, and SubWallet, a non-custodial wallet for Ethereum and Polkadot.
Players can earn $MYTH tokens by ranking on the weekly leaderboard. The prize pool offers rewards for the top 100 players, with the first-place winner receiving 1,000 $MYTH. Free-to-play participants start with six cards, and additional cards can be purchased through the NFL Rivals Mythical Marketplace.
Football Rivals represents a significant leap in cross-game utility for Web3 gaming. With over 6 million players already engaged in NFL Rivals, this latest expansion offers a fresh opportunity for gamers to experience the world of blockchain sports gaming in a more accessible and rewarding way.
