Overview
Warsaken is a military strategy card game coming soon to your devices and tabletop. Our game developers have been building and play testing game mechanics for years. Artist from all over the world have created dynamic images to bring the game to life. And now, Warsaken is available to purchase for the first time ever, starting with digital card sales in 2021 and physical cards in 2022. The blockchain will never be the same.
The digital game will initially be built on the WAX blockchain, giving cardholders true ownership and the ability to buy, trade, and sell in-game assets (NFTs) for real money. You can also passively earn Warsaken Loot (Loot) for owning digital Warsaken cards.
Warsaken is a game crafted by Eclectic Nerds, LLC with a focus on positive gameplay for everyone involved and bringing friends and family together.
Earth, but not as you know it
The planet is in turmoil as nations battle for shrinking resources. Military leaders have risen to the forefront as the ability to defend lands and conquer new ones means the difference between survival and death of entire nations. You will take the role of one of 14 military geniuses, assemble your forces, and go head-to-head against one or more enemies. Play one-on-one, in draft formats, tournaments, in solo mode against the formidable Cabal, and more.
As time goes on, new leaders will emerge with updated strategies, weapons, alliances, and more as we release new sets.
NFT pack launch
The first Warsaken cards are for sale as NFTs (non-fungible tokens) on the WAX blockchain. Sales will be by WAX, and will require a WAX wallet, which can be set up in seconds at wallet.wax.io. The sale of Set 001 – Genesis of Conflict, began on Dec 15, 2021. A portion of initial sales was donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
We have since expanded to an online shop that sells physical items, including physical and digital cards, apparel, and other merchandise. https://shop.warsaken.com/
Loyalty rewards
Holding Warsaken NFTs in your account will make you eligible to receive payouts of Loot. The amount of payouts will depend on your rank, which will be determined by how much XP you have earned. The number and rarity of NFTs held in your account will determine the amount of XP you earn. You must hold at least one premium Warsaken NFT to be eligible to earn XP. Eventually, playing and winning games will also result in earning XP. You may also be able to earn XP through recruiting. All packs will include at least 1 premium NFT.
As you earn more XP, you will rise in rank. Each rank earns a certain amount of Loot, which you can claim daily in the app or online. High rarity cards and upgraded cards will yield considerably more XP than common cards. Warsaken NFTs will not leave the collector’s wallet in order to count toward their XP total. The only NFTs that earn Loot rather than XP are the Territory Owner cards and Territory Tenant cards, which will grant the holder a significant amount of Loot daily. Any Loot not claimed daily does not roll over to the following day.
XP will reset each Season of War as we adjust the requirements and balance payouts. XP that is earned from owning NFTs will automatically be reinstated each season, as long as the NFT remains in your account. However, XP earned from playing will reset and will need to be earned each season.

Crypto Store
Currently you can redeem Loot for Loot Packs, available in the store. In the future, the Loot Store will accept Loot for items such as wheel spins, in-game items, in-game FX, Warsaken Unlimited Subscriptions, and more. Loot Packs will only be available in the Loot Store and on the secondary market. You can find the Loot Store on the app or at www.warsaken.cards/store.
Loot Packs
Each month we will release a new batch of Loot Packs.
Gold Loot Leaders will be minted at a quantity of 10 for each leader. They will offer even higher XP, give +1 generic resource at the start of the game, and most importantly, qualify the holder for the rank of Lieutenant (Rank 9.)
The minting of Decadent Leader NFTs will be limited to 10 per Leader. In addition to higher levels of XP, Decadent Leaders offer some interesting gameplay mechanics that differ from the other leaders cards.
Territory Owner cards will be among the rarest Warsaken NFTs. Only one Owner NFT will be minted for each of the 35 territories in the Genesis of Conflict set, meaning they will all be 1 of 1. Holding the Territory Owner NFT will entitle you to massive amounts of Loot daily with no XP requirement and no recruitment requirement. Territory Tenant cards will be minted in quantities of 10 per territory and will give 1/10th the Loot reward of the Owner cards.
Loot Packs from any month will have a chance to draw Territory Owner and Tenant cards, but once they have been pulled, there will be no Territory Owner or Tenant cards available until the following month. The odds of pulling these NFTs will be commensurate with their exceeding rarity (i.e. it’s gonna be really hard to snag these.)
In addition to granting massive daily Loot, Territory Owner and Tenant cards may qualify the holder to create decks which can be staked in the Warsaken system. More details will follow.
Warsaken Loot
Warsaken Loot is the in-game token of Warsaken. You will be able earn XP and rank up to earn more daily Loot, through holding NFTs, playing and winning, beating Cabal levels, and more. The max supply of Warsaken Loot is 10,000,000,000,000 (10 trillion). The principal manner of distribution will be through daily rewards based on rank, and direct distribution to Territory Owner and Tenant card holders. See above for uses of Loot.
The Warsaken does not sell Loot. It is a loyalty token that can be used to purchase items from our store. The Warsaken Team does not make any explicit or implied statements regarding the value of Loot and no financial decisions should be made based on the information in this whitepaper or information provided by us regarding Loot elsewhere.
Upgrade Cards
You will be able to upgrade Warsaken NFTS to create new NFTs with gameplay advantages and significant XP increases. Visit https://news.warsaken.com/warsaken-nft-upgrades-a-comprehensive-guide/ for a guide to upgrades.
Upgrade cards are specific to each Set and can only be used to upgrades cards from the same Set.
Warsaken Blitz
The first playable Warsaken game will be Warsaken Blitz, a simpler strategy game that will be played using Warsaken NFTs. It will be released in Q1/Q2 2022. The full-feature, standard gameplay will follow. Warsaken Blitz is an easy-to-learn, easy-to-play strategy game that will use basic Warsaken game setup to go head-to-head with other players. You will eventually be able to earn XP by playing and winning the digital version of Warsaken Blitz. There will be a free-to-play function with pre-made decks for Warsaken Blitz, but you will not be able to earn XP by playing with free decks.
Tabletop game
Soon, Warsaken will be available to purchase and play in a tabletop edition. The initial launch will take place on Kickstarter, following which, cards and sets will be available on www.shop.warsaken.com and in your local gaming store where available. Physical gameplay will follow the same rules as digital gameplay. However, you will have more player options in the tabletop version including team play and large group play in addition to the solo mode, draft, and tournament play of the digital game.
Successive sets of Warsaken such as Set 2 will also be available in tabletop formats. Limited edition NFT sets, such as Volkov’s Escape may or may not be available for tabletop.
Bonus claim codes
All physical boxes sold in the Kickstarter will include claim codes which will entitle the buyer to packs of NFTs. These NFTs will be from the limited edition Volkov’s Escape set. This set includes digital cards that will not be available anywhere else.
The Warsaken app will be your all-in-one command center. In addition to playing the digital game, building decks, claiming Loot, and managing your digital assets, you will be able to use it in conjunction with physical cards and decks to track damage to your leader and territories during battle, keep a record of your wins, organize tournaments, and experience the most immersive way to battle the Cabal in single-player mode. The app will be available on iPhone and iPad as well as Android phones and tablets. In the future we may support other platforms as well.
Launch of the game engine, digital gameplay begins, deck staking, Set 2 pack sale, subscriptions available.
Gameplay will take place on the Warsaken app and at www.warsaken.com after being fully developed and tested. (A Tabletopia version of the game is available now, but is only recommended for advanced players.) Multiple game modes will be available including one-on-one, solo mode Cabal, tournaments, and more. Deck creation, collection sorting, real-time tracking, casual and ranked record keeping, a deck-analysis tool, and much more will be available. Players can use any assets they own (NFTs) to build decks and play all game modes.
Warsaken Unlimited is a monthly subscription that will give access to ALL standard Warsaken cards for deckbuilding and play. You can combine a subscription with NFTs you own to increase the XP earned for gameplay. If you don’t own any cards and don’t have a subscription, you can battle using pre-made decks. XP will be awarded for playing matches and winning with NFTs or with Unlimited, but no XP will be earned by players using the free pre-made decks. Warsaken can be considered play-to-earn and free-to-play.
Deck staking will combine the play-to-earn and free-to-play aspects of the game. NFT owners will be able to create decks and stake them, making them available for others to play with. Rewards for winning will be split between the deck owner and the player. In order to stake decks, a player needs to own a Territory Owner or Territory Tenant card, which can be found in Loot Packs.
Multi-accounting and bots
Multi-accounting, farming, and botting are not allowed in Warsaken claiming and playing matches against other players. This includes using bots or scripts, and any other attempts to cheat the system. The Warsaken team will use manual as well as technological means to track and ban accounts suspected of unethical behavior. Appeals of blocked accounts will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
There is an exception for people who acquire more than one Blood Foil Leader. Those individuals may set up a co-op or group account to claim Loot. Warsaken will allow this because we have already accounted for Loot payouts for all Blood Foil Leaders in our tokenomics and it has no additional impact on Loot. Blood Foils exist in small enough quantities that it is feasible for the Warsaken team to track ownership of these assets.
