What is Russian Roulette?

post image

Russian Roulette is well known for its brutality and high stakes. Often portrayed in movies and media as a game played by two equally unhinged players with extreme wagers.

A single bullet in a 6 chamber revolver is spun, before players take turns to see which one walks away with the prize pool, the other has a headache to say the very least 💀

What does this have to do with Source?

Source is our first game launching this August, it’s a Seasonal MMORPG and this shady little corner is known as the backrooms of Seizures Casino in Source city.

Seizures has a variety of “more traditional games” but in a city like Source - all kinds of things happen behind closed doors, behind this particular door - illicit games of Russian Roulette are a popular pass time among locals.

Players can stack their credits daily via the minigame in preparation for the full game launch. Once the game launches players are free to revisit the casino and try their luck anytime.

Earning Credits

How many credits you can claim each day is based on your “Daily Allocation”. There are two main ways to increase your Daily Allocation:

  • Completing Bonus Tasks

  • Holding Source Assets

Completing Bonus Tasks

These could be anything from social actions, having used another app in the Farcaster ecosystem or holding partner assets. New bonuses will appear randomly so check daily!

Holding Source assets.

Right now there are 2 Source assets:

  • Source CNCPT - 37 items minted back in March

  • Source Pre-order - Currently available to mint on Zora, via this frame and in the Jeeves App.

Below is a breakdown of the Collectible types and how they impact your Daily Credit Allocations
