In breaking news, we learn that Jamie King (the co-founder behind Grand Theft Auto) joins forces with Portal as an advisor.

Portal seems to be all over social media these days.

They aim to onboard millions of ‘traditional’ players to crypto gaming through a shared ecosystem and a no-mess user experience.

TOGETHER WITH GOON WARS
🎴 Battle your way to victory in this vibrant deck builder!

We love deck battler games, but most of them focus too much on game mechanics and not enough on looks.

In Goon Wars, the focus is placed on both!

Here, the game’s visuals are not an afterthought, but a focal point that keeps the player engaged throughout the entire battle.

As you collect, trade and battle over 300 unique cards with powerful elements and abilities, Goon Wars will leave you wanting more!
