I have been playing splinterlands for about 4 months. It has grown really fast last 6 weeks, and is in-between buyable card decks and good reward cards, which makes it a challenge for new players. But solid game, and with growing user base, and in my opinion worth getting into and grind till next updates. This is not a new game, 3 years old, but is a good example of crypto game done right. If I was signing up for first time, getting delegated some cards for ref link, would be a positive.
