The project was set up as a game, with the objective to collect all 132 player cards issues across two different sets - 'Originals' and 'Iconics'. The cards, representing players participating in the 2018 World Cup, were available for purchase through July 15, 2018. Users had the option to purchase two different packs, each containing 4 player cards - 'Standard' packs (at .025 ETH) contained only Originals while 'Premium' packs (at .05 ETH) contained Originals and randomly assigned Iconics. center The Originals set consists of 100 cards (numbered with Checklist IDs from 0 to 99) featuring artwork from [Mau Toscano](https://twitter.com/chaoticcolor). The Iconics set consists of 32 cards (numbered with Checklist IDs from 100 to 131) featuring artwork from [Gilang Bogy](https://www.gilangbogy.com/). Ultimately a total of 10,261 cards were issued ([distribution](https://giaset.notion.site/e7220e5d823f49aa8c956e17705c5f61?v=dd5a5194e15f447d8634751cbef8c673)) with an estimated 6,000 cards currently lost or unwrapped. The last Strikers cards were created in 2018, and no more can or will ever be created. During the knockout stages of the 2018 tournament, users could make predictions on player performance by staking cards during matches. If the player from a staked card scored a goal or had a clean sheet, the card was upgraded with a star. 27 cards were upgraded with stars, with one card receiving multiple stars. ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/3n6irYtqNjgH9kdFD04yTINTWtBtGAwWTxl8k2HTpO8bHsmRlCvcaTkAOY6CGZW9pBzba6u5f0rXkcNUZv66zmoF5Ne_Fgw7k9O8Ize73hUBv8v9V5jbv2owQ4WXdOH-z0V2_BBkmr4CuRmAXFAdBqHDqJUJlO2KXX4XvApwjPBGn_gn8B-W5SBQedU) The CryptoStrikers project, including the trademark, brand name, and website, were sold in November 2018 to an undisclosed private company that ultimately decided not to continue the project. As a result, Strikers is a historical project - there are no plans for future mints or creation of additional card sets.
