War Snails
A hilarious and fast-paced NFT strategy game with stunning artwork, inspired by the classic game, Worms.
About us
Ready for battle
War Snails is a gaming NFT collection of 8,888 unique ERC-721 tokens with a randomised combination of over 210 hand-drawn traits. In addition to awesome artwork, War Snails has been built from the ground up with engaging, long-term utility with addictive gameplay.

the game
We loved playing Worms when we were kids and wanted to inject some of that humour and skilful gameplay into the War Snails project.
Much like the original Worms game from 1995, War Snails will battle on destructible 2D levels. You’ll move your War Snail by slithering, jumping, teleporting, climbing and more. Once positioned you’ll choose from available weapons to inflict maximum damage on your opponent, whilst making sure you don’t nail yourself in the process.

Traits
War Snails will also be randomly assigned physical traits that provide in-game advantages, for example the ability to jump further or to sustain greater damage from a napalm attack.
Visual traits will also carry special abilities and provide access to rare weapons, power-ups and breeding advantages.
We’re already giddy with excitement.
the game
Weapons
Mastering the use of weapons is going to be key in progressing the 13 stages from Private to Sergeant Major.
We'll be creating over 100 special weapons ranging from handguns to time portals with new seasonal and special edition weapons being released periodically. Pass the salt!
the game
Air Drops
War Snail owners will periodically be gifted power-ups and special weapons via air drops. Special abilities will also be airdropped to the winners of War Snails tournaments and regular competitions.
GAME FACE ON
Competition
The game will be highly competitive and engaging, not just to play but also to watch.
War Snails are divided into 4 tribes which carry unique traits and access to different communities. Snails will be sociable though and so owning Snails from multiple tribes may also be advantageous.
the game
Play to Earn
The War Snails game format is perfectly suited to the Play and Earn (P&E) model. It’s familiar, accessible and there’s a healthy skill curve to master. In the War Snails P&E environment rewards will come in the form of boosts and power-ups that can either be traded or used to pay for breeding.
the game
Tournaments
War Snails owners will be able to compete in tournaments to win power-ups and monetary prizes. We have created a draft structure for the tournaments which will be based on your location and the overall strength of your War Snail.
Regional finalists will advance through from National Leagues to the Global League where prize-pools increase in value at each stage.
the game
Player vs. Player
The War Snails game is a 3 vs 3 battle to the death. You don't need to have 3 Snails to play however as there will be sub games designed for single Snail owners and other ways to participate.
process
Betting
One of the main issues with P&E gaming is that people need to keep buying the NFTs to bring money into the ecosystem. With betting we're allowing funds to flow into the eco-system in a way that is more scalable and sustainable.
process
Breeding
You'll be able to breed your OG War Snails and either sell the offspring or keep farming to build a whole colony. We've structured a neat way to allow you to keep breeding Snails without the supply growing uncontrollably. Also OG War Snails are the only ones who can breed and have special traits so your NFT will not be devalued.
