Block Ape Scissors

Introduction

Block Ape Scissors is a play-to-earn blockchain arcade game where players can own NFT items and earn BAS tokens on the BNB Smart Chain network. The game is a simple rock-paper-scissors game that is played with apes. Players are able to battle it out in a competitive arena against other players. The game is available on the PC platform.

Gameplay

Block Ape Scissors is based on the classic game of rock-paper-scissors but with added elements like power moves and different phases. The objective of the game is to win three rounds against your opponent. In the event of a draw after the fifth round, a sudden-death tiebreaker is played.

The game has core moves like Rock, Paper, and Scissors and power moves like Wild and Alpha. Rock wins against Scissors, Paper wins against Rock and Scissors wins against Paper. Wild ties against any of the core moves, and Alpha wins against all other moves and ties against another Alpha.

Each round of the game is divided into three phases: jungle, forest, and river. In each phase, players make a different number of moves. In the jungle phase, a player will choose their first three moves. After both players have chosen their three moves, the score from that phase is recorded. In the next phase, the Forest phase, players only choose 1 move each, and then the score is recorded. Finally, the river phase will allow a single move for each player as well. Scores are added up for all 3 phases and the person with the highest score wins.

Block Ape Scissors has different game modes. One of them is called BAS God Mode which is a different take on the Original Mode. In this mode, the objective is to reduce your opponent's HP (health points) to 0 in order to destroy one of their hearts. Each player begins with three hearts. This mode has four additional phases: sun, water, moon, and earth. Power moves are earned in different ways in each of the different phases, and tributes can be offered to earn health potions that restore lost HP. Another mode is called Genesis mode, which is an extension of God Mode using the same phases, but now your Genesis Ape stats modify the game in a variety of ways.

The third mode is Chaos Mode, which is a twist on the classic mode. The players are randomly assigned a modifier at the start of each round that allows them to earn alphas or wilds based on the move they choose and the outcome. Sometimes the wild and alpha are earned by winning an exchange, and other times they are earned by losing the exchange.

Token Information

The BAS token is the native token of the game that can be used to buy and sell NFT items in the marketplace. It also acts as a governance token that allows the holders to vote for in-game proposals that will affect the game’s mechanics. It is also utilized to mint NFTs and as an entry fee for specific game modes. Players can stake their BAS tokens for further profits.
