After [stumbling upon a post earlier](https://peakd.com/hive-148441/@travelgirl/travelgirl-s-splinterlands-season-rewards-champion-3#@nulledgh0st/re-cryptictruth-2020430t1540328z) by @travelgirl, I decided to give Splinterlands a try!
Shout out to @cryptictruth, because when I logged in, I had a bunch of cards waiting for me. He hooked me up big time :D Thanks again!
I used to be a big Hearthstone nerd a few years back, and in my early days, a HUGE MTG fanatic (i'd go to the flea markets every weekend with my dad to buy cards!), so trying out a card game built on the blockchain was an instant YES in my book.
I bought my Summoner's book thing (I already forgot what it's called LOL), and dove right in.
(Of course, I had to set my avatar to be a Ghost ;) )
My first game, I had absolutely 0 clue of what I was doing - I didn't even realize I had to click the "Battle" button, so I ended up forfeiting my very first match, lmao.
The 2nd game I played went a little better. After not derping (and clicking "Battle" this time), I was in a practice round fighting for glory!
Game #2 went much better! I won by the skin of my teeth - I think by like 1 point O.o
Game #3 was a bit better of a win (and revenge for the first match, as I got matched against the same person).
I still have 0 idea of what I'm doing, but I'm sure putzing around more with this, I'll be a pro in no time.
Have any tips for me? I'd be happy to hear!
-- and I'll see you all out on the battlefield 😉
(Shout out to @splinterlands for making this awesome game!)
