Stay sharp—big mechanical updates are on the horizon.

Thanks for your patience — I owe you an apology for missing the last two editions.
Between traveling, the Summit, and taking a few days to step back and think, I needed a small reset. The market hasn’t been kind lately, and that energy also shows in the reduced amount of news across Cardano gaming.

But breaks are healthy. They give perspective.
And the mission continues.

Over the next few weeks, the format of this digest may evolve a bit. I want to experiment with something I believe can add a lot more value:
playing the most fun games myself, documenting the experience, and testing whether they can truly be considered Play-to-Own from a financial and player-experience perspective.

Less noise, more signal.
Less headlines, more discovery.
More fun — and more honesty about what actually works.

Thank you for being here, even through the quiet weeks.
We keep building, learning, and exploring this ecosystem together — one game at a time.

This newsletter is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
Always do your own research before engaging with any project, token, or platform.

You’re receiving this digest because you signed up to follow Cardano gaming updates, ecosystem insights, and weekly discoveries.
