Town Star is a blockchain gaming platform that blends city sim and farming sim games with P2E and NFTs.

Although the private beta was launched in March 2020 and became publicly available in June 2020, the game is currently one of the most-played Gala Games, recording about $500k in daily transactions.

Town Star Gameplay

The game has a simple design and interface but with a rich gameplay. In Town Star, players start with few assets, and they must build a plantation with crops, buildings, equipment, and staff. Players must carefully select lands based on their proximity to towns, favorable fertile land and terrain, and proximity to a city. 

Each landscape comes with its benefits and challenges

Plain vegetations are often difficult to cultivate initially, but they become beneficiary in the long run. Forests are a great source of raw materials. Unfortunately, it becomes difficult to expand with time. Deserts may pose a problem initially, seeing that they are dry and don't have trees, but it is easy to expand from them. 

Town Star NFTs allow a variety of actions, such as creating extra storage, executing tasks, etc. They are useful in customizing the landscape, especially for players that use the free-to-play mode. 

There is a NFT threshold to ensure users don't overuse the NFTs. Examples of NFTs are storage NFTs that make extra storage space available for some products, Tesla coils for NFT skins, and Bot NFTs that can replace workers.
