Shiryo

[Shiryo](https://shiryoinu.com) is a blockchain incorporated [Play-to-Earn](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/play-to-earn-play2earn) trading card game which utilizes [NFT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token)'s to allow players to collect decks and participate in matches. It is set in the world of Edrea, a continent with its terrain divided into four elemental factions; Earth, Thunder, Water, and Fire. Players will be able to participate in matches, tournaments and even purchase land through the bespoke Shiryo [Dapp](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-applications-dapps) accessed via the token’s website. By the recently released extended whitepaper, the initial community-led beta tests for the game will be performed in Q1 2022, with a full game release planned shortly after. The roadmap also details other upgrades including 3D Metaverse integration, a social spaces upgrade, and land expansion options. By the end of 2022, there will be a DAO for players to decide exactly how they want the game to be balanced, a manga, an anime, and a Shiryo TCG mobile app.
