Also, today I am participating in the Splinterlands Social Media Challenge. I think that participating in this challenge is not only fun, but through it we can show our creativity and introduce the game to more people. You must also participate.
What you need to know before starting the game
Before starting to play Splinterlands, you need to learn two things first
1. How to create an account and join the game
2. Basic rules and structure of the game
Creating an account and logging in are the very first steps. I have made a post on this topic with a simple explanation for beginners. It will be especially useful if you want to play from the Hive platform. If you want to play in a different way, you can find the official guide here.
Understanding the basic structure of the game
Once you have created an account, it is important to know some things to enjoy the game properly. In my experience, four things are the most important
Cards You need to know what each card is used for, its strengths and weaknesses.Elements Each element gives a different type of ability.
Stats You need to understand the attack, defense speed, etc. of the card.Powers Special abilities, which can change the outcome of the match.
These four things serve as a foundation for beginners. Once you understand these, other aspects of the game can be easily learned. However, you should remember that some things can only be learned through playing, over time.
The reality of costs and income
Splinterlands is a pay-to-play card game. This means that you may have to spend money to unlock some features or get rewards. However, my advice for new players is to focus on learning the rules and strategies of the game without spending any money at the beginning. When you feel that you have become skilled enough, there will be a greater chance of getting a return if you invest.
There is also an opportunity to earn money in the game. You can earn money by trading cards, participating in tournaments, or completing daily and weekly quests. However, to be successful in these, it is important to master the game's strategy.
My current situation
I am still in the early stages of the game. I am reading various articles, watching videos, and trying to learn something new by playing the game every day. I win some matches, lose some, but each match gives me a new experience.
If there is any mistake in my writing or something is left out, please let me know in the comments. And if you want to start this game, you can open an account with my referral link

Although the beginning may seem a little difficult, once you master the rules, Splinterlands is a really fun game. So I would say be patient, play regularly, and create your own strategy.
I'm still learning, making mistakes, trying again. That's the real fun of gaming. If I ever meet you in a match, I hope it will be a friendly competition. Best wishes to all! Once again, everyone stay well and healthy. Thank you all.
