Pixudi is a blockchain-based racing board game that blends the charm of classic board games with the benefits of blockchain technology. In Pixudi, players compete on a dynamic game board to collect treasures, overcome obstacles, and complete missions in a race to the finish.
Pixudi is one of the most popular dApps on Core by Unique Active Wallets (UAW), making it a leading blockchain game in the Core ecosystem.
What makes Pixudi stand out is its integration of blockchain at the core of the gameplay. Dice rolls are controlled by smart contracts to ensure true randomness and fairness, and all in-game assets are secured as NFTs on partner blockchains. Every move and outcome is transparently recorded on-chain, giving players confidence in the game’s integrity and true ownership of their items. Best of all, Pixudi is free to play – you don’t need any upfront investment to start your adventure.
In short, Pixudi’s unique value lies in fusing the social fun of board games with the digital ownership and security of blockchain, creating a game that is both nostalgic and cutting-edge.
Getting Started
Step 1: Sign Up. Visit Pixudi’s game portal and click “Register”. You can sign up using Google, Discord, Twitch, or an email address. Pick your preferred method and follow the prompts (for example, authorize the app or enter a verification code) to create your account. In just a minute, you’ll have your profile ready to go.
Step 2: Connect Your Wallet. Once you’re logged in, link a crypto wallet to your Pixudi account – this is where your in-game items will be stored. Pixudi supports popular wallets like MetaMask and many others. If you don’t have a wallet yet, you can skip this for now and play away, but you won’t be able to claim any rewards until a wallet is connected. It’s easy to do later: click “Connect Wallet” in your profile, choose the network you want to use, and confirm the connection through your wallet app.
Step 3: Start a Game. Now you’re ready to play! You can either join an existing game lobby (pick from a list of open rooms hosted by others) or create your own game room to play with friends. If you create a room, wait for at least one or two other players to join (Pixudi is a multiplayer experience). Once everyone’s in, the game begins and the Pixudi board will load for all players.
Step 4: Learn as You Play. When the match starts, Pixudi will guide you through the basics with an interactive tutorial and on-screen tips. The tutorial shows you how to roll the dice, move your character token, use any items you have, and react to special events on the board. In a few turns, you’ll get the hang of it – soon you’ll be confidently racing across the board, collecting goodies, and outpacing your opponents.
Understanding NFTs in Pixudi
Nearly everything you collect in Pixudi is an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) on the blockchain. In practice, this means your game rewards – characters, items, and more – are truly owned by you and can even be traded or sold outside the game. Every in-game item is uniquely recorded on-chain, giving your Pixudi collection real uniqueness and permanence.
Characters: Your playable characters are NFTs with unique looks and stats. You typically obtain new characters from Mystery Packs (loot boxes), and you can level them up as you play, making them stronger over time. Like any NFT, character avatars can be traded or sold – but you might grow attached to your favorites!
Items: All the power-ups and gear in Pixudi are also NFTs. You can find items by landing on treasure chest spaces or by earning them through gameplay. Use them during a match for an edge, and since they’re yours to keep, you can trade or sell spare items as you like on the dedicated Pixudi Marketplace.
Pets & more: Pixudi even features pet companions that start as NFT eggs and hatch into unique pets. You’ll be able to breed pets to create new ones, evolving your collection. Beyond characters and pets, there are special collectible NFTs like limited-edition board skins or tournament passes to discover as you play.
Game Mechanics
Turn-Based Board Gameplay: Pixudi plays similarly to a classic board game. Each player takes turns rolling a virtual six-sided die and moving their character forward along a track of about 60 spaces. Each board has a unique scenario and goal – for instance, a jungle map where you must find a hidden Dragon Stone while racing to the finish. The objective is usually to reach the end of the path (or complete the board’s quest) before your opponents do.
Event Spaces: The twist comes from special event spaces on the board (about 30% of the spaces). When you land on an event space, something happens – it could be good, bad, or a mix. For example, you might get to move a few extra spaces or find a treasure, or on the flip side be forced backward or lose a turn to a curse. Some events even require another dice roll to determine if the outcome is positive or negative. These surprises keep everyone on their toes.
Using Items & Mini-Games: Players aren’t at the mercy of luck alone – you can use your NFT items as power-ups to influence the game. If you have a special item, you can activate it at a strategic moment (for example, use a charm to immediately lift a curse or a booster to roll an extra die). Smart item use can help you avoid the worst events or leap ahead of the competition. Pixudi even throws in the occasional mini-game – for example, a quick puzzle challenge might pop up, giving winners bonus coins or extra moves. These mini-games add a fun, party-game flair and can give you an edge if you excel at them.
Seasonal Events: Every few months, Pixudi launches special event boards with unique themes and rewards. By playing these limited-time boards, you can earn exclusive NFTs and event points; at the end of the season, top players on the leaderboard win bonus prizes. This constant rotation means there are always new adventures and collectibles on the horizon.
Strategies to Win
Plan ahead: Try to land on helpful event spaces (bonus moves, treasure chests, etc.) and avoid harmful ones if you can. Sometimes using a small power-up or stopping short is worth it to hit a lucky spot or dodge a bad one.
Use items smartly: Time your power-ups for maximum impact. For example, keep a curse-cleansing item handy in case you get cursed, and use speed boosts when you need just a few extra steps to beat an opponent.
Balance risk and reward: Rushing to the finish line isn’t always best. Detouring to grab coins or Mystery Chests can earn you valuable items and points that might decide the winner in the end.
Why Play Pixudi?
Finally, why should you give Pixudi a try? Here are some of the big benefits that make this game stand out:
Free-to-Play & Fair: Pixudi is completely free to start – you don’t need to buy expensive NFTs or tokens to jump in. It uses a Free2Play, Play2Collect model, meaning you can enjoy the full game without spending money, and you’ll earn collectibles just by playing. There’s no pay-to-win gimmick here; skill and strategy determine the winners, not the size of your wallet. Skilled players can even earn token prizes, but no one gets an unfair advantage by paying.
Fun & Engaging Gameplay: If you love board games or party games, Pixudi will feel instantly fun. It captures the nostalgic vibe of gathering around a board with friends – the creators want you to feel like you’re playing a classic game night with family. At the same time, it spices things up with modern twists: mini-games, fantasy quests, and a lively online multiplayer community. Every match is different, with surprises that keep you on your toes. Pixudi is easy to pick up but offers plenty of depth to keep you coming back.
Collect & Own Cool Assets: One of the joys of Pixudi is collecting all those characters, pets, and items – and knowing they’re truly yours. Thanks to blockchain, anything you win in the game (from a rare character to a special sword) is stored as an NFT in your wallet, giving you true ownership of in-game assets. You’re free to trade or sell your loot on marketplaces, or keep them as a personal collection. Your time spent isn’t wasted – you’re building up assets that might even gain real-world value over time.
Ever-Evolving World: Pixudi is not a one-and-done game – the developers are continually expanding it with new content and features. New boards, characters, and challenges come out regularly. Pixudi has a ton of long-term potential, and it’s always evolving with the community’s support.
Roll the Dice, Own the Game, and Enjoy the Adventure
Pixudi is fun, fair, and forward-thinking. It captures the joy of classic board games – those triumphant moments and friendly rivalries – and supercharges it with technology that gives you more control and stake in the game. Whether you’re in it for the free-to-play fun, the thrill of collecting NFTs, or the strategic gameplay, Pixudi offers an accessible yet deeply engaging experience.
So grab your virtual dice, join a game, and see if you can outsmart fate and your fellow players on the Pixudi board. Good luck, and enjoy the adventure!
