Quick Start

Townforge is a blockchain-based game, with a consensus-driven peer-to-peer network. While most online multiplayer games revolve around a central server, Townforge relies on peers relying on peers communicating current game state via the highest blockchain. Game actions are mined as transactions into the Townforge blockchain, and miners who discover these blocks are rewarded with Townforge Gold.

In order to play the game, you need to run the Townforge daemon (executable 'townforged'). Running this separately from the main executable ('townforge') allows you to interact with the daemon, but the main game client will automatically launch the daemon for you. After this you need to connect to other peers to stay connected to the game. To this end, we provide seeding nodes that try to help new nodes discover other peers in the network.

Your game wallet is a file connected to your in-game account and can only be recovered using your seed words, so store these keywords properly. After entrance fee of 1 TFG or an invitation code from an another player you can create your in-game account. Please note that due to the decentralized nature of the game, such accounts can never be redeemed if lost. Once your in-game account is created, you're synced up to the Townforge network block height, and the game client is running, you're ready to play Townforge!
