Axie Infinity - The BlockChain Game

Hey Savages - I'm always looking for news on crypto and what's trendy/working/dying...

Seems like Axie Infinity is a blockchain-based trading and fighting game that allows players to collect, breed, fight, and trade token-based creatures. Why is it getting so popular?

Axie Infinity is a turn-based battle video game where the protagonists are the mystical creatures called Axies. Both the Axies and the interactive scheme of the video game are inspired by Pokémon. Part of its innovation is that each Axie is a unique NFT registered on the Ethereum blockchain, which also has its own genetic characteristics that directly influence its purity and combat abilities.

Each Axie's genetic system is based on the famous CryptoKitties protocol. These characteristics of each Axie can be inherited by offspring that arise after reproducing two parents. What do you guys think? Any Axie users around??
