The Ludopoly experience begins with a wallet — a blockchain address that will hold your Account NFT, your WorldFeatureCards, and any Treasury NFTs you earn through successful treasure claims. The platform is deployed across many networks, so you have flexibility in choosing the chain that best suits your preferences for transaction costs and speed.

Your first action in the Ludopoly ecosystem is minting an Account NFT. This is a one-time operation that creates your permanent on-chain identity. The soul-bound nature of this token means it will stay with your address indefinitely, accumulating reputation and progression as you play. There is no shortcut to building a strong account identity — it grows only through participation.

The room marketplace shows available game sessions across all supported networks. Public rooms are open for immediate entry. Private rooms require an invitation from the room owner. Each listing shows the current session status, the number of active participants, and the entry fee.

Once inside a room, the game cycle begins. During movement phases, you select your destination, and your client generates a zero-knowledge proof that is submitted to the smart contract. During strategy phases, you review your card inventory, communicate with other players, and plan your next moves. The fog of war means your rivals cannot see where you are going, and you cannot see where they stand — but the cards at your disposal give you tools for gathering intelligence and disrupting their progress.

When you believe you have found the correct country, you initiate a claim. The oracle verifies your position against the hidden treasure location and, if they match, authorises your reward. Victory mints a Treasury NFT in your wallet and closes the session.
