Hybrid Races

Stables will soon allow you to enter your NFTs into hybrid races and, later on, virtual races:

• Hybrid Races will be competitive events. Gameplay is based on player choices and linked to real-world races (each hybrid race is a replay of an actual race).

• Virtual Races will be daily events used to train your NFTs and improve your strategy.

The results of these races will primarily be driven by your NFT's Horse Score, which will not be based on the horse's real-life performance. Instead, the Horse Score will depend on the NFT's in-game features, mainly its gear and experience level. The outcome of the race will also rely on your decisions as a player.

Hybrid races will have a preparation phase, while virtual races will be immediate. We plan to explore various game mechanics iteratively with the player community to find the most enjoyable and challenging ways to play.

Here's an overview of the mechanics we are currently designing:

• Gear: NFTs come with gear that improves their Horse Score. This gear can be upgraded by acquiring new items.

• Race Parameters: Some NFTs perform better under certain race conditions (e.g., length, type).

• Training (Preparation): Carefully prepare your horse to optimize your chances of victory, making strategic decisions as the owner (e.g., should we unshoe the horse for this race?).

• Overclocks: Surprise! Use your bluff wisely to disrupt the race.

• Race Forecast: Have a gut feeling? Place your bet on a real-life racer to gain a booster.

Registration & Rewards

• Registration for a race will cost a certain amount of S-Points, which will be redistributed to the winners after deducting a Stables organizer fee (around 10%).

• Rewards will be distributed among all participants following a rule similar to real-life races (e.g., 1st place gets 45%, etc.).
