# New World Football Alliance

**Play To Earn Games**

#### New World Football Alliance - The Flagship Game

"New World Football Alliance" takes place in a dystopian future, where soccer players battle it out to earn enough to survive, one challenge at a time. As players navigate the world and successfully win matches and complete challenges, they will earn SMV tokens.

The main game mode is StarCard Calcio, a primitive football game in which players combine football and fighting.  Unlike regular football, players can punch, kick and trip opponents with no referee to spoil the fun.

**'New World Football Alliance' - The Backstory**

The year is 2036. Earth and all of its inhabitants have gone through a dark period of environmental destruction, war, famine, fear, and isolation. For decades, young people and scientists tried in vain to capture the attention of world leaders and corporate profiteers. They sounded alarms for years about the impact that climate change and ecological destruction would have on our world, but their parents and grandparents wouldn’t listen and take action.

In the mid-2020s, the last of the great polar ice sheets broke apart and their melting accelerated. Coastal cities were hit with floods and millions of people worldwide died as fierce storms lashed once-thriving communities.

Crop fields around the world became parched deserts, and still millions more died from global famine as we reached 2030. What followed was the darkest moment in human history as leaders waged war on neighbors and former allies in an ever-growing fight for water and resources.&#x20;

The past few years have seen survivors forming gangs and authoritarian-led enclaves in a truly dystopian world. The only thing that seems to bring people out and together are gladiator-style fighting games where fighters fought to the death.

During all this darkness, a small band of soccer legends came up with an idea to take advantage of the fighting and merge it with football into a brutal new game where only the most ruthless can win. And so it was born...the "New World Football Alliance." With matches and competitions around the world, a new economy emerged based on a no holds barred game where almost anything goes.\

**StarCard Calcio - Origins**\
\
StarCard Calcio draws inspiration from one of the earliest forms of football...Calcio Fiorentino (also known as Calcio Storico). This game originated during the Middle Ages in Italy. Unlike modern football, Calcio Fiorentino is violent, often resulting in brutal injuries and sometimes death. Moreover, it is not played on a pitch but rather city squares. Its tactics include headbutting, punching, elbowing, and choking. The objective of the game is to score as many goals on the opposing team, while also taking down opponents. Although modern versions of Calcio Fiorentino have banned some of the more brutal tactics, StarCard Calcio is based off the earlier versions of the game. Players will punch, kick, and crunch their opponents with vicious slidetackles - all while trying to put the ball in the back of their opponents net!
