In a setback for web3 gaming enthusiasts, Synergy of Serra, a collectible trading card game (TCG), has officially announced its closure, effective immediately. The game, known for its unique mechanics, has faced financial challenges since the summer of 2023, ultimately leading to its demise.
The Synergy of Serra team revealed in their latest announcement that all market services have already been closed down, with a complete shutdown of other services expected by the end of February, including crate openings. The primary reason cited for this abrupt closure is the depletion of funds, exacerbated by internal differences among the founders.
Despite the current uptrends in the market, Synergy of Serra was unable to capitalize on the opportunity to release tokens or land sales to sustain itself. The closure comes at a time when various gaming projects are leveraging the market's momentum for strategic releases.
The team, however, aims to preserve the essence of Synergy of Serra by moving all card data, including artwork, onto IPFS. This strategic move raises the possibility of a potential reboot in the future, ensuring that the unique gameplay and collectible cards may not be lost permanently.
Synergy of Serra, recognized for its web3-enabled features and innovative game mechanics, provided players with a distinctive experience. In this trading card game, players started with a basic deck of ten cards and a 'suitcase' containing 100 pre-selected cards. The shared card pool created during the game allowed for strategic deck-building decisions, ensuring an even playing field.
The game's card types included Units, Attachments, and Power cards, each contributing to the dynamic gameplay. Notably, the absence of traditional mana or energy mechanics provided a swift and action-packed experience. Players could freely play any card from their hand each turn, keeping the pace brisk and engaging.
Despite its closure, Synergy of Serra leaves behind a legacy of quick, strategic gameplay and a dedicated player community. The team encourages players to open any remaining crates before the end of February and has expressed uncertainty regarding the availability of the website and social links in the future.
