It uses &MYTH NFTs for player cards, which game players can trade to others. This is the first sports game for Mythical, which runs on Mythical’s Etherium-compatible blockchain (it’s called a “sidechain” in Web3 parlance). It’s available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, with a full global launch coming this fall.
