How to Play Wobin's Wumble

🎯 The 20-second version

Wobin's Wumble is a card duel. You and another player each have a Hero with 500 health. You take turns putting little fighters (Wobins) on the table and casting spells. First Hero to hit 0 health loses.

In Wobin's words: it's like a playground sword-fight, but with trading cards. You bring your best cards, take turns, and whoever's leader runs out of health first loses.

🎒 What you need before you start

In Live Matches you play with your own cards — the cards in your wallet are your deck. You'll need:

• A crypto wallet that works with Robinhood Chain (like MetaMask). Think of it as your backpack.
• At least 6 Wobin NFTs — 1 to be your Hero and 5 to fight beside it. (Wobins get their tier when they're revealed at Fowest.)
• Enough Spell Cards to fill a deck. That's 22 to 25 Spells depending on how many Wobins you bring. You can only carry 2 copies of a spell (just 1 of each Legendary), so you need a decent variety. Spell Cards are bought in the Spell Store with WOLD.
• WOBIN tokens — only if you want to play a wagered game. Friendly games cost nothing.

In Wobin's words: no cards, no game. The game only lets you use cards you really own, and it greys out the ones you don't.

1 Connect your wallet

Open Wobin's Wumble. The first thing you see is a gate: you have to connect a wallet to get in. Press Connect Wallet, and your wallet pops up asking permission. Say yes.

In Wobin's words: connecting is like opening your backpack so the game can peek at your cards. It only looks — it doesn't take anything out.

Once it loads your Wobins and Spells, it takes you straight to the lobby. If your wallet has fewer than 6 Wobins, the lobby tells you so and the Host/Join buttons stay switched off. To leave, press Disconnect in the lobby.

2 The lobby: the server list

The lobby is the town square. On the left is the Server List — every game that's open and waiting for an opponent. On the right is where you host your own.

• Your wallet. Your shortened address and how many Wobins the game found.
• Lobby badge. Says "Wumble server" when you are connected to the shared online lobby — see the note below.
• The server list. Each row is one open game: its name, who's hosting, their Hero, how many Wobins and Spells, and how long ago it was made.
• View Deck. Peek at the host's whole deck before you decide. (See step 4.)
• Join. Sit down at that table.
• Wager. How much WOBIN each player puts in. "Friendly" means nothing is wagered.
• Host a Game. Make your own table (see step 3).
• Refresh. Updates the list. It also refreshes by itself every few seconds.

3 Hosting a game

Want to be the one who opens the table? Use the Host a Game panel.

• Game name. Anything you like, up to 28 letters.
• Wager per player. Press Friendly (no wager), one of the amounts (25k, 50k, 75k, 100k), or press Custom and type your own. Allowed: 0, or at least 25,000 WOBIN each -- there is no maximum.
• Pot summary. Updates as you pick: the pot, the 2% that gets burned, and what the winner takes.
• Host Game → Build Deck. Takes you to the deck builder.
• The heads-up. Reminds you that a wager is real WOBIN, held by the escrow contract until the match ends.

After you build your deck (see step 5), the button says Create Game & Lock 25 Spells. Press it and your game appears on the server list.

In Wobin's words: hosting is like putting your name on a table at the game shop. Anyone can walk past, look at your cards, and sit down if they like what they see.

When someone challenges you

A window pops up on your screen when a player joins your table. You can look at their deck, then press Accept or Decline. You have 5 minutes to answer once their stake is locked in — if you don't, the challenge is cancelled, they get everything back, and your table is closed (just list it again). Declining keeps your table open for the next challenger.

Alert sound: to host a Live Match you first have to press I agree to a challenge alert (browsers only allow sound after you say yes; if you say no, the game isn't hosted). From then on, a sound plays on repeat the moment someone challenges your table — even if you're in another tab — until you accept, decline, or the challenge runs out. It can't be silenced, so keep the page open and your volume up.

4 Joining a game (and peeking at the host's deck)

See a game you like? First press View Deck. You'll see everything the host is bringing — before you commit to anything.

• Who and how much. The host, the wager, and what the winner would take home.
• The Hero. The leader. Its tier decides its special move (see Hero moves).
• The Wobins. The little blue circle is the mana cost; the numbers are HP, Speed and Attack.
• Join This Game. Happy with what you see? Sit down.

Scroll down inside the popup to see the host's Spell Cards too, with how many copies of each:

In Wobin's words: it's like peeking at the other player's cards before you agree to play. If their deck looks scary, you can pick a different table.

Pressing Join

Press Join (or Join This Game in the popup) and you go to the deck builder to choose your deck. A yellow reminder shows the burn rule, and you can reopen the host's deck any time with View Host Deck:

• The burn reminder. Every Spell in your deck is burned the moment the match starts.
• View Host Deck. Look at what you're facing, as many times as you like.

If someone else grabs the game while you're building, the lobby tells you "That game was just taken or cancelled" — pick another one.

The 5-minute accept rule

When you join a game you're challenging the host. Here's the order things happen in:

1. You lock in first. Your wager and your deck's Spell Cards go into the escrow contract. A countdown shows how long you have to do that.
2. The host gets 5 minutes to accept. They see your deck and your wager, and they can Accept (by locking in theirs) or Decline. The clock starts the moment your stake is locked.
3. If they accept, the match starts and both Spell decks are burned.
4. If they decline, or don't answer in 5 minutes, the challenge is cancelled. Press Withdraw and your wager and Spell Cards come back to you — every one of them, no fee. You can also cancel yourself any time before the host accepts.

In Wobin's words: you put your coins and cards on the table and wait for the host to say yes. If they take too long, you just pick everything back up — nothing is burned until both of you have said yes.

5 Building your deck

Your deck is the team you bring to the fight. It's always built the same way:

The Wobins and Spells always add up to exactly 30. Pick 5 Wobins and you need 25 Spells; pick 8 and you need 22. The Hero is the extra one.

• The table banner. Which game you're hosting or joining, the wager, and the burn rule.
• Choose your Hero. Click one Wobin. Its tier picks your Hero's special move, shown under its picture.
• The deck counter. Cards picked so far. It turns green and says "Deck ready." when you're done.
• The big button. Greyed out until the deck is exactly right, so you can't get it wrong.
• Back to Lobby. Changed your mind? Go back, nothing is spent.

Pick 5 to 8 Wobins

The blue number on each card is its mana cost to play. Bringing fewer Wobins means more Spells (more tricks, fewer fighters).

Fill the rest with Spell Cards

• Click a card to add a copy. Click it again once it's maxed to remove it. Shift-click removes just one copy.
• The "You own 2" note shows how many you have. You can never bring more than you own.
• Limits: 2 copies of most cards, 1 copy of each Legendary.
• A counter tells you how many slots are left to fill.

💰 Wagers, explained simply

A wager is a bet between the two players: whoever wins the match takes the prize.

Try it yourself

The rules

• The host picks the amount when making the game. It's per player: both of you put in the same amount.
• Allowed amounts: Friendly (0), or at least 25,000 WOBIN each. The quick buttons go up to 100,000; press Custom to type any bigger amount (there is no maximum). The whole pot is double what each player puts in.
• The platform keeps 2% of the pot, and that 2% is burned (sent to the dead address, gone forever). It is not paid to anyone.
• The winner takes the other 98%.
• You always see the wager before you join: it's in the server list, in the deck-preview popup, and at the top of the deck builder.

In Wobin's words: you and a friend each put 40 tokens in a jar. Whoever wins gets the jar, except a tiny piece (2%) gets thrown in a fire as the "table fee". A friendly game is just playing for fun with an empty jar.

🔥 What gets burned

The rule is short: every Spell Card in the deck you bring is burned when the match starts — whether you cast it or not.

Your wallet before the match

The moment the match starts

(A pretend wallet with 6 cards. Only the 3 in the deck are burned. A real deck has 22 to 25 Spells.)

In Wobin's words: imagine each player has to spend their spell cards to sit at the table. Because everyone spends their spells, nobody can hoard a secret stash and win just by being richer. It's fair for everybody: it's an even playing field.

If you're the host

So a host can't be stuck waiting with their cards gone. The burn only happens once there's a real opponent.

What you see after the match

• Spells burned. The Spells from your deck, with how many of each.
• Kept. Every other Spell in your wallet, and all your Wobins.
• Burn list. The exact list the burn contract will use. You can copy it with Copy burn list.

🗺️ A tour of the battle board

Once the match starts you see the board. Your side is at the bottom, your opponent's at the top. You go first.

• The enemy Hero and its health bar (440/500 here). Bring it to 0 and you win.
• The enemy's Wobins. The fighters they've put on the table.
• Your Wobins. The fighters you've put on the table (up to 7).
• Your Hero. Click its portrait to swing your weapon. Its health bar is at the bottom of the frame.
• Your mana. Energy to spend this turn (6 of 6 here).
• End Turn. Press it when you're finished.
• Your deck & hand. Click the stack of cards to fan them out and pick one. The number is how many cards you're holding (max 10).
• Hero Power. The round button next to your Hero. Costs 2 mana.
• Recent plays. A running log of what just happened.
• Turn timer. You get 30 seconds a turn. It's under the "Your Turn" banner.

Each Wobin on the board shows three numbers: HP on top, Speed bottom-left, Attack bottom-right.

🔄 Taking your turn

Mana: your energy

Mana is just "energy points" for playing cards. You start with 1 and gain 1 more every turn, up to 10. Leftover mana doesn't carry over.

Turn 1 you have 1 energy, turn 5 you have 5, and so on. The blue number on a card is its cost. You start the match holding 3 cards.

Playing a card from your hand

• The big readout. Hover over any card and its name, cost, rarity and full text pop up in large, bold writing.
• Your cards. Click one to play it. A Wobin goes straight onto your side. A Spell either happens right away or asks you to click a target.
• Cancel. Close the hand without playing anything.

Attacking

Click one of your Wobins that's ready (it glows). Red boxes show who you're allowed to hit — click one:

• A Wobin can't attack the turn you play it (it needs to "wake up" first). The exception is a Wobin with Rush.
• Each Wobin attacks once per turn.
• If an enemy has Taunt, you have to hit that one first.
• Attacking is free. It costs no mana.

In Wobin's words: cards cost energy, but swinging your sword is free. A new fighter needs one turn to catch its breath before it can swing.

Ending your turn

Press End Turn when you're done. If you've run out of mana and have nothing left to attack with, the turn ends by itself. And if you just stare at the screen, the 30-second timer ends it for you, so the game never gets stuck.

🟢 Wobins and tiers

Every Wobin has a tier (like a rarity). The colored frame tells you which tier it is. Higher tiers are stronger and cost more mana.

Common1 mana

Uncommon2 mana

Rare3 mana

Epic5 mana

Legendary7 mana

• HP (health): how much damage it can take before it dies.
• Speed: how nimble it is. A faster Wobin can dodge a slower attacker's hit.
• Attack: how much damage it deals when it hits.

Each Wobin NFT has its own numbers inside its tier's range, so no two are exactly alike. Your Hero is special: it always has 500 health, and its fighting numbers depend only on its tier (next sections).

⚔️ Fighting and dodging

Combat is one-sided: the attacker hits, the defender takes it, and the defender does not hit back. If the defender's health hits 0, it dies.

In Wobin's words: whoever swings first gets a free hit. That's why going on the attack is usually a good idea.

Dodging

If your Wobin is faster than the one attacking it, it has a chance to dodge completely — no damage at all. The bigger the speed gap, the better the chance. Same speed or slower? No dodging.

Dodging only works in Wobin-versus-Wobin fights. Attacks on a Hero (and by a Hero) always land.

👑 Your Hero's two moves

Your Hero isn't just a health bar. It can fight every turn in two ways, and you can do both in the same turn:

• ⚔ Weapon Swing (free). Click your Hero's portrait, then click a target. No mana. Once per turn. The damage depends only on your Hero's tier.
• ✨ Hero Power (2 mana). Click the round button next to your Hero (number 8 on the board tour), then a target. A stronger move that's different for every tier. Once per turn.

Hero Powers count as spell-like effects: the target doesn't get to hit back, they ignore Taunt, but they can't pick a 👻 Stealthed Wobin. Burn refreshes instead of stacking.

✨ Special powers (keywords)

Some Wobins get extra powers from Spell Cards. Here's what each one looks like on the board and what it means:

🛡 Shield

A glowing bubble. Blocks the very next hit completely, then pops and it's gone.

🧍 Taunt

A stone-and-steel plate. This Wobin stands in front of its friends: enemies have to hit it first. (Taunt from Hero Power or Sherwood Stand also gets bonus health.)

👻 Stealth

Faded and invisible to the enemy. Can't be attacked or targeted by spells until it attacks.

❄ Frozen

Frozen in ice for one turn. It can't attack, then it thaws out.

😤 Enrage

A red glow when hurt. Gets bonus Attack for as long as it's damaged. Heal it and the bonus goes away.

Silence

Wipes away all of a Wobin's buffs and powers, back to its plain base stats.

Rush

Lets a Wobin attack the very turn it arrives, skipping the usual wait.

Burn (status)

Damage over time from Flame Shot. A little extra damage at the start of several turns, then it fades. Not the same as burned cards.
