Derby Stars

Derby Stars - Free to Play W3 Game

*Raise, Race and Glory with Derby Stars!*

Derby Stars is a horse racing metaverse game where players can breed, grow, build and trade.

It is a first-of-its-kind AAA play-to-earn game on the Polygon blockchain.

Built by a team of game veterans, Derby Stars aims to provide a high-quality player experience never seen before in an NFT game.

### **Free-to-Play via NFT rental system**

Derby Stars has implemented an innovative rental system that allows players to begin the game with or even without a horse NFT (Non-Fungible Token).

While new players can engage in the game for free, experienced users have the opportunity to earn additional rewards through owning & leasing NFT horses. This game design fosters a harmonious blend of traditional gamers and Web3 gamers, reflecting the game's commitment to accessibility and reward-driven gameplay.

### **Single-player mode: Training (Player vs Environment)**

By interacting with Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) in various training modes, players can strategically train their horses and hone their skills as top-notch trainers.

Also, they can earn and accumulate the utility token, $CRT, to jump into the multi-player mode races and compete against real players to win a bigger prize.

### **Multi-player mode: Race (Player vs Player)**

Players participate in seasonal races, showcasing their horses' skills, stats, and talents. Success in races can lead to increasing the value and prestige of their horse collections. Victory in the race grants the winner $DSRUN, a governance token that allows users to acquire items, breed horses, or unlock more advanced features in the game.

### **Breeding & Core systems**

In the competitive world of virtual horse racing, horses with superior ranks are distinguished by their enhanced skills and stats. Foals born from breeding are affected by the rarity and stats of their parents so the strategic breeding of elite horses is essential to have higher odds to win a race and claim rewards.

Through the training mode, users can unlock specialized gear known as "Core" to improve their horses’ performance aspects like speed. These elements along with various in-game incentives provide an engaging and immersive gaming experience.
