In today’s note, you won’t miss a beat in the ever-evolving world of Web3. I’ll be sharing updates on a few Web3 games that have recently caught my eye.
There’s an exciting Collectible Card Game (CCG) to spotlight, leveraging the Pudgy Penguins IP.
Lastly, I’d love to hear from you—what’s capturing your interest in the Web3 space right now? Cast your vote below. Let’s dive in!
Summary:
I shared Cambria with you back in August. They're conducting another playtest this week, so it’s a great time to try it out. Play well enough, and you could earn one of 5 available Founder’s NFTs. Read here to find out why I liked Cambria so much.
Off The Grid - I added an additional 10 hours to Off The Grid following my initial review, and I still really enjoy the title. There is an issue with cheaters abusing the game, but it's still quite fun to play. If you're into Warzone, PUBG, or Fortnite, I recommend giving it a try. Keep in mind, it's still in Beta, so expect some bugs.
Get Ready! - Futureverse’s The Third Kingdom reset should be taking place this week. Read my case for TTK and start planting prysms.
I recently made the case for why I believe The Vibes (Pudgy TCG) has the potential to compete long-term with the likes of Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering. While not directly tied to Web3, this collectible card game uses Pudgy Penguin IP, features a virtual game component, and some of the cards have already been tokenized on platforms like Collector Crypt.
If you're into CCGs/TCGs, I suggest checking out my latest post, where I make the case for getting in early.

Investments in digital assets and Web3 companies are highly speculative and involve a high degree of risk. These risks include, but are not limited to: the technology is new and many of its uses may be untested; intense competition; slow adoption rates and the potential for product obsolescence; volatility and limited liquidity, including but not limited to, inability to liquidate a position; loss or destruction of key(s) to access accounts or the blockchain; reliance on digital wallets; reliance on unregulated markets and exchanges; reliance on the internet; cybersecurity risks; and the lack of regulation and the potential for new laws and regulation that may be difficult to predict. Moreover, the extent to which Web3 companies or digital assets utilize blockchain technology may vary, and it is possible that even widespread adoption of blockchain technology may not result in a material increase in the value of such companies or digital assets.
Digital asset prices are highly volatile, and the value of digital assets, and the companies that invest in them, can rise or fall dramatically and quickly. If their value goes down, there’s no guarantee that it will rise again. As a result, there is a significant risk of loss of your entire principal investment.
