ELEMENTALSORIGINS

Yes. The full game runs free in your browser — the campaign, VS-AI duels, private online PvP, deckbuilding, your collection, and the leaderboard. No purchase, no download, no account required to start playing.

The game is free to play — every card is earnable in-game, with no pay-to-win mechanics, and there is currently no real money involved anywhere. The web3 layer is a free, optional experiment running on a test network — you can ignore it entirely and play the whole game without ever touching it.

No. The core game needs nothing but a browser. The optional web3 features let you sign in with your Google account (no wallet needed) or a Slush wallet if you prefer, and gas fees are sponsored by us — so you never need to buy, hold, or spend any crypto.

Sui is a blockchain; testnet is its sandbox network used for development and testing. It uses valueless test tokens, not real money. Everything web3 in Elementals Origins lives on Sui testnet today — so any NFTs or balances you see are experimental and carry no monetary value. We have not launched on mainnet.

Neither. NFTs are completely optional and give zero gameplay advantage. Your playable 30+30 starter decks stay off-chain. You can claim a free "welcome" card NFT and optionally forge other earned cards into NFTs — collectible badges of ownership, not something you battle with. The model is "play with a copy, own the NFT": matches never touch the chain.

Sign in with Google or Slush — on the claim page or right inside the game (the “Forge & Trade” menu) — and click claim. We mint your free 5-card starter pack to you and pay the gas. From there you can also forge other earned cards into NFTs and trade them in kiosks, all on testnet.

$AIRO is the project's reward token. It is not for sale and has no market value today — purely experimental while we're in beta. Season 1 rewards our earliest players and testers: climb the Ranked ladder and report bugs to earn a share of a 100,000 $AIRO pool, distributed by quality (rank + confirmed bug reports). To be completely clear — Season 1 is a thank-you to early supporters and a stake in what we're building, not a payout or an investment, and $AIRO carries no guaranteed value. The game stays 100% free; the web3 layer is optional and on Sui testnet.

Yes. Online PvP is live — duel a friend by room code, find a random opponent, or queue Ranked and climb a new Elo ladder (Bronze → Master). Ranked results feed the Season 1 $AIRO rewards. Ranked is honor-system during testnet; server-authoritative anti-cheat lands with mainnet.

There's a mobile-friendly build with a scale-to-fit board, touch controls, and audio tuned for phones. The smoothest experience is still desktop; mobile polish is ongoing.

No date yet. Forging cards into NFTs and a Kiosk-based marketplace with on-chain royalties already work on Sui testnet (valueless test tokens). A mainnet launch — where any of it could carry real value — depends on server-authoritative anti-cheat landing first. We'll announce timelines when they're real.
