Welcome to another article where I write about my journey playing Splinterlands! This is a longer than typical season, lasting about 17 days this time around.

My Splinterlands Blog #132 – Happy Memorial Day 2023

My Splinterlands Blog #127 – The Grind Continues

Welcome to another article where I write about my journey playing Splinterlands! This was another quiet week in terms of updates, with a handful of changes coming out that didn’t really impact the gameplay. Not that there should be an expectation of big changes each week.

My Splinterlands Blog #126 – The Ides of April

Welcome to another article where I write about my journey playing Splinterlands! This was the end of the first season under the new energy system, that limits the number of games played.
